Ludachris85 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Hey guys, first post here and I tried as much as I could searching the forums but I couldn't quite figure it out. I have 2 X-arcade boards hooked up as a 4 player cab. I was previously running hyperspin but have loved everything about big box I've seen and made the switch. Everything works perfect minus one issue. I cannot figure out how to exit all emulators with a 2 button press like in hyperspin. The x arcade is essentially a keyboard and I could remap the buttons and make the escape key as one of my arcade buttons but I really don't want to do that. I thought I could go and edit each emulator and set a hotkey script but I can't figure it out. I would like to use the number 0 and the = symbol as the exit emulators global key presses. In my cab those are the player 4 start button and the pinball button on the side of the x arcade stick. Any help would be appreciated. You guys are awesome.

Retro808 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) I have the Tankstick and for the emulators that you can set internal exits with I use those. For those that do not I use the AHK I posted in this AHK thread. Just go to manage emulators and edit. Paste the code in the AHK tab and change the button numbers to the ones you want. I have mine set to right pinball bumper (4) and 2 player start (2) keys. My tankstick is set to Xarcade default layout.

Ludachris85 Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 Thank you. I just copied the script directly without changing anything and it won't work. Here is a quick screenshot. Maybe I am missing something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Should work as pasted. It is a delayed response in the AHK so you have to hold the buttons for longer than 2 seconds. What emulator are you using for GBA? Emulators like Retroarch and Mame you can directly set the exit command in them and I would do that instead of using the AHK. Mame will let you hit two buttons at once to make an exit command and in Retroarch you set a hotkey and an action key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludachris85 Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 Retro88. You're a lifesaver. Works like a charm. The 2 second hold had me. I was just pressing and releasing. Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) Awesome. Glad its sorted and welcome to the forum. If you want change the duration to 1 for a quicker response. I like 2 seconds for when the young ones are playing the delay helps when they button mash. Edited November 29, 2017 by Retro808 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
