jagerbomb5150 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I have purchased BigBox and have the automation set property to exit. It works for my other systems but I can not use them to exit MAME roms. I am fired to go to the task manager and end it that way. What can I do to fix this?

Retro808 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Have you set your exit buttons/keys directly in Mame? Mame has options to set the exit configuration and you can set it to the same as you have in the BigBox automation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagerbomb5150 Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 I haven't been able to find it in mame. I'll look again tho. I previously had hyperspin with no problems on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) Just open a game in Mame and hit tab. This will open the options to set controls. The exit command can be set to one or two buttons. I believe it is under inputs general then UI inputs, UI Exit. Not at my machine to verify, but I think that is it.

DOS76 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 MAME has issue with any type of virtual keypresses as you can see from this link its from 2014 but I still don't think that has been changed. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=138043.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) This post says it can be done but you have to create your own dll to actually do it. http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=216824&page=0&view=expanded&sb=5&o=&vc=1 I suggest you follow @Retro808 advice and just figure out how to set it in the UI of MAME its not that complex and its a good thing to learn about the software.

jagerbomb5150 Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 I found it. it was UI Cancel. Thank You. Now when i build my arcade cabinet I'll just have to use 1 button specifically for exiting MAME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 in the MAME UI if you press two buttons at the same time while setting a control it will make them a combo instead of one button being able to exit on you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagerbomb5150 Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 Thank you I will try that today. That would make it much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah MAME acts differently from most other emulators, if you follow the great advice offered in this thread you should have no problems at all.

m0riarty1 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 for the last month, the "Automation" keys were working fine with MAME, then after trying to get some wii-motes to work with some light gun games, my 'Automation" keys stopped working. Yes, I can go into the MAME menus and set "exit" there, but what changed? Something a config file? Feels like i should be able to get back to the Launchbox Automation.

Lordmonkus Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Maybe in Launchbox / BigBox your controller that you had the controller automation set to got changed to a different controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
