floodie Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Is it possible in big box to say Tap the 1p button to "enter / start game" etc. But instead of having a dedicated "exit/back" button hold down the 1p button for a second or so and it sends the "exit/back" command? . Would really help clean up arcade cabs losing a button Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floodie Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 This was of course a REALLY funny joke by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proghodet Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 You can achieve this using JoyToKey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floodie Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 Is that so? Hmm.. never used j2k before. Is it simple and for just one key? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proghodet Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I have it set up so that all emulators exit when I press "X" (on the keyboard), and go to the settings when I press "Z". I have assigned that to a button on my joystick, so that if i press quickly, I go to the settings. If I hold the button for a second, I exit the emulator: But I don't think i'd bother with this program just for one key, but it is quite possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floodie Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 Ah ok. Well it would save 1 button, the need to cut a hole in the control panel and poly plus wiring. However a dedicated back/exit button is better i think. So i use an ipac which is a keyboard translator device. Whats the difference between an ipac and joy2key? Not familer with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proghodet Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I've never used ipac, so I wouldn't know the difference, but JoyToKey is just a piece of software that you can use to trigger keyboard or mouse input from a joystick I have set up keyboard inputs in all my emulators, and then use joytokey to map up those controllers to the actual joystick. That way it doesn't matter which controller is connected first, or even which controller i use. But that's my use-case - I suppose things are quite different when building a cabinet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
