: These are some things to chaeck for:
: 1...Your keyboard hack isn't be sending keys 1 & 2 at the same time. Run a program that displays the keymapping and press both 1 & 2 to see if they both "light up".
: 2...You changed the "UI Cancel" in Mame to something other than ESC.
: 3...You didn't set the line "start12esc=" to 1 instead of 0
: I just tried ArcadeOS with start12esc=0 and then tried to press 1 & 2 and Mame acted normally. It didn't see an ESC keypress. After that I set it to start12esc=1 and tried running Mame again. This time when I pressed 1 & 2, Mame exited like I had pressed the ESC key. ArcadeOS seems to function just fine for me. I would strongly suspect the problem is with the keyboard hack. Please verify that it can send 1 and 2 seperately and at the same time as well.
: : OFCOURSE!!!!! That ARCADEOS.cfg is set to 1 (1+2=ESC)
: : But 1 or 0...have not difference!!!!
: : 1+2 still not give the ESC command!!!!!
: :
: : No...Thanks..... also My Hack Keyboard work fine.......this is a little problem of ArcadeOS
: : ( also good frontend ...) and IPac ...now I not NEEDIT!!
: : All was working GOOD for one month on my CAB...and now mysterously I have this problem...and not only I.....I Must Found the origin of the trouble!!!
: : Please HELP!!!
I've had trouble with ArcadeOS suddenly "forgetting" thing that had previosly worked. Try deleting and reinstalling ArcadeOS, and possibly MAME too. Thats how I got it cleared up. I'm not really sure why it stopped doing certain things, but after I reinstalled it, it was fine. Hope it helps,
