Returns to GameEx after running Kega Fusion Windowed


murve33

Recommended Posts

I boot Fusion in Full Screen mode by default. In order to edit the controls within Fusion, one has to put it into windowed mode first (as far as I know). But, when I try to do this by pressing alt+enter Fusion just returns to GameEx like I exited out of the application.

Any ideas?

I've attached my log, .ini, and config for Genesis.

Why are you having to edit the controls everytime you run it? Just out of curiosity.

I'm sure it has something to do with how Mega handles Windowed Mode, which I'm a nutshell must be affecting the exe that GameEx is monitoring, and GameEx thinks it's exiting.

Can you not just launch the emulator outside of GameEx if you need to edit the controls?

Yea, it's kind of a pain to be in GameEx, realize ya wanna play a Genesis/CD game, exit out, open the emulator, change the controls, open GameEx, and then play the game though.

I suppose I'll look for alternatives to Fusion. It's been the only emulator so far that's given me any guff.

If you need two different sets of controls for various games, you can set up the EMU in two slots, with their respective roms and map the controls as required. Then merge them using an emulator group.

I always knew you were. I tried to convince Draco that it was true but he kept telling me I was wrong. :-)

No. I kept telling you he was a nut case, not a nut shell. Get it right! :P

I hadn't considered emulator groups. I'm still probably going to find an alternative to Fusion though.

Haha, you're absolutely right. I went on a quest to find a better emulator, and the closest thing was Gens+, which of course is not nearly as good as Fusion.

In addition to changing controller preferences, it's be nice to access savestates, disk changes, and other settings. I know there are hotkeys for that, but I'm running about 15 different emulators, and it's difficult to memorize the hotkeys for each of them.

It's probably Kega's fault that Fullscreen to Windowed exits GameEx, but it'd be nice if the GameEx devs could somehow fix the issue.

Use an advanced config to map your keys for each emulator so that your hotkeys are consistent.

Woah, that would be amazing! I'll definitely be staying tuned.

Is there a tutorial on this? I've been searching and haven't found anything. This might just solve all of my problems. :)

In the Setup Wizard, go to Advanced Emulator Setup. In the first line select the emulator that you are using from the list. 13 lines down from there is an entry for Advanced Config. Click on the ... button to bring up the Advanced config editor. You want the tab that says Keyboard ReMap. Map your keys and when finished, save the file with a unique name by clicking on File at the top of the Advanced Config Editor window. (Save AS) Make sure and set the file that you just created in the field for Advanced Config in the Setup Wizard.

You might as well check out the other tabs in the advanced config editor, you never know what else you might need in the future.

Hey, did find the solution yourself? Alt+Enter makes GameEx terminate the Kega Fusion, but right clicking with your mouse on the screen while you are playing pauses the game and give you full availability to all the options.

!

As I'm writing this I realize that unlike myself, you are probably using GameEx for what it really is made for, a homemade gaming cabinet. If that is the case you probably have no access to mouse or touchpad at all?

It is probably too late now but a possible solutiion could be too use a virtual mouse (if such a thing exist) that you can activate and then control with the keyboard or the joystick.
