Cannot Remap ESC Key to arcade Joystick when Using Rawinput

Postby DJSemi44 » Sat Sep 24, 2022 11:13 am

Hello all,

I have built a lightgun arcade cabinet, which means my emulator requires a rawinput configuration. When running Supermodel with rawinput, I cannot exit the emulator via my arcade buttons. Typically with other emulators in my setup, I have JoyToKey read a button press on my arcade, and it sends an "Esc" command to whichever emulator is running. This does not work with Supermodel, and requires me to pull out the wireless keyboard to exit via the Escape key.

Does anyone know of any way I can use an arcade button (directinput) to close the emulator while using rawinput?

I'm sure someone else who's fit a cabinet with lightguns has run into this road block.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Supermodel currently does not allow remapping of core emulator UI actions. I don't know how JoyToKey works but RawInput is fairly low level and JoyToKey may not be operating at a level above it.
