AdvanceMame Exit Menu

[lamaman1971]

Hi Folks, Im using AdvanceMame with an arcade controller (iPac2) and while the START2 & START buttons get me a response to exit the emulator it then pops up some stupid menu requiring an “Enter” keypress – digs out the bloody USB keyboard again…. – which is deeply annoying. Anyone got any tips on how to either :

a) make the annoying menu not appear and default to exit (like everywhere else)
b) remap a spare button (or combination of buttons) to deliver the required ENTER command (I think LEFT and START2 should work – maybe its my lack of dexterity!).

Meh.

Resolved this by making adjustments to the configuration : MISC_SAFEQUIT = no

Easy!

Hello all!! I try to config advmame1.4 and I have too questions to config them…
1-What command you use to config the exit keyconfig?? (“”MISC_SAFEQUIT = no”” but what command use in key config to use them?))
2-I try to config the controls using dualshock 3 gamepad anyone have the config for this?? Can upload to .txt or pastebin??
3-When I try to config the dualshock 3 gamepad using the emulator menu (using TAB key of the keyboard, and changed the device_joystick auto to device_joystick raw in the config of .rc file) the game only take the config in the option “for this game” what I need do to change general config for all games and apply them???
Thanks for all help forum!! and sorry for bad english :|

Sorry to necropost but this was the only info I could find…how did anybody get advmame to exit with a combo hotkey ( like start + select )??

I thought this was only for retroarch cores?

I was able to find the line for the safequit prompt to disable it…but I cannot find where the code for exiting the emulator is.

Ok, ‘UI Cancel’ from the user interface menu is the option to map to a button to exit the emulator.
