JetAllen Posted January 25 Posted January 25 I am having the weirdest issue with my keyboard. Whenever I push the "x" key with any other key, my programs close and I am taken back to my desktop. This is super frustrating when trying to play a game using BigBox since most games are mapped to use x for a button. I am running Windows 10 and an Ultimarc IPAC2 to run my arcade controls. I have tried updating the computer, updating the keyboard drivers, unplugging the IPAC, tried using a new keyboard. Nothing seems to work and the internet is useless. Hoping that some genius out there will be able to help me with this issue. x plus any other key closes every program that I have open and it is killing me. Quote

Hoping that some genius out there will be able to help me with this issue. x plus any other key closes every program that I have open and it is killing me. "x" on the I-PAC should be mapped to Player 1, Button 6. At least for the games I play, not too many use button 6. This all assumes your I-Pac 2 is running in keyboard mode. If it's in XInput mode, then I have no idea. (My I-PAC is too old to have XInput as an option.) Saying this 'out loud' just now makes me think you're probably playing games on just the keyboard. With that, the I-PAC should not be a factor. If you play the game(s) without BigBox running, does pressing x + something else still cause all programs to close? If you have something like Notepad opened (again BigBox not running) and press pressing x + something else, does it close? Quote
JetAllen Posted January 26 Author Posted January 26 (edited) This issue seems to be isolated to BigBox. I double checked the IPAC and everything is installed correctly (IPAC has been working for years). Tried different usb's and different keyboards. Tried running games outside of bigbox (MAME, NES,etc). All of the emulators and controls worked fine. Seems that Big Box may be the culprit. Again, pressing x and any other button exits BigBox. This happens using my arcade controls (IPAC) or just a keyboard. Edited January 26 by JetAllen Quote
Solution JoeViking245 Posted January 26 Solution Posted January 26 1 hour ago, JetAllen said: pressing x and any other button exits BigBox. OK, so it's only closing BigBox. That makes more sense. In BigBox, go to the System Menu < Options - Keyboard Mappings. Look for the mapping for Exit and select it. It should have an "X" next to it. Press Enter on your keyboard and wait 5 seconds to clear it completely. Alternately, while waiting the 5 seconds, you can press a different key to map as Exit [BigBox]. Quote
JetAllen Posted January 26 Author Posted January 26 Well that was the dumbest thing ever. Ha. That totally worked. Can't believe I didn't check that earlier. Thanks so much! 1 Quote
