  1. I'm using the 1.39 version with Aqua; everything works fine, but can somebody tell me if there's a way, via segatools config or whatever, to close the game with escape button instead of having to alt-f4? 

    Optimally, I'd like to close every window pertaining to the game in one press, but can settle for an easy exit on the main game window and just leave the cmd windows open in the background.

  2. Is there a close/exit input I can put in segatools.ini to close the game with the escape button? I got everything working, but have to ALT-F4 to close, and seeing as I use an arcade cabinet with no keyboard, I set everything to close with "Esc."

     

    Also, it'll be a while before I set up a tate cab, and while the game itself displays naturally in landscape, the bios cuts off a big section of the screen (top 6 options in the main menu). Any fix for this so I can see what I'm calibrating in the test menu would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Check the overlays tab in spicecfg.
    16th keybind on that page is "Force Exit Game"

    I bound it to backspace in spicecfg and it worked, if you want to bind it to esc you will need to manually edit the spicecfg setting file in appdata\roaming and add the vk key code for escape in the CCJ section.
     

     <button name="Force Exit Game" vkey="27" analogtype="0" debounce_up="0" debounce_down="0" invert="false" devid="\\?\HID#VID_1038&amp;PID_1610&amp;MI_00&amp;Col02#8&amp;1afa7a2f&amp;0&amp;0001#{884b96c3-56ef-11d1-bc8c-00a0c91405dd}"/>

     

    Sure enough, The Spicetools version I was using was missing some options in the overlay tab. I followed your instructions from your March 5 post. Copy pasting in your "button name=" command STILL didn't work, but I finally noticed the second part (HID#VID...etc) differed from the rest in my xml, so I just swapped in the text from one of my other button inputs, and that fixed it.  Finally works like a charm in launchbox--thank you!

    I'm also use a Arcade Cabinet without a keyboard. To solve button configuration problems I use Joytokey.

    With this software you can assign keys, sets of keys or mouse movements to buttons and josticks.

    It is also possible to assign sets of keys to individual games, assigning the profiles to the game's executable exe.

    It's very simple and you can find several tutorials on google.

    Thanks for the recommendation. If I don't find a spicetools variant that I can force close I'll try that next. Wasn't aware JoytoKey could do key combos or be assigned to a program's application--the reason I passed on autohotkey after hours of research was that getting it to close a script along with the program that started it seemed needlessly complicated, and I'm not up to wasting days experimenting with batch files.

     

    Gotta say, it's quite silly that I've excluded a few games from my multi because I couldn't get them to start or function properly, and this is the first where I've had the exact opposite problem in not being able to close it. You'd think they'd have implemented something so simple into spicetools by now considering it was customary even in late 90s emulators.

     the file you need to edit is in appdata\roaming.
    The ascii key code for escape is 27
     

     

    Hey there. First of all, wanted to say thanks for the contribution. 
    But I'm stuck on the exact same issue as Bojo was at the time, and the solution that worked for him does not for me. 
    I've tried a couple different Spicetools versions, and can't even find a "force exit" in the config, which may be why the instance you supplied does nothing when I put it in the xml file in Roaming. 


    Is there a specific version I need to be using or am I just doing something quite stupidly wrong?

     

    And for rationale, while alt-F4 is fine on PC, I'm setting up a universal arcade frontend on a real machine; no keyboard. The adapter I use recognizes holding start as esc, which works for closing literally every other game and emulator, but mapping F4 isn't a possibility.  I was really excited the game worked so easily, and then found out it  cannot be closed, even after hours of troubleshooting.

    Sorry to rehash something already solved for somebody else, but any help would be appreciated.
