Hi,

Great work! This is a truely great and simple frontend, but am having a few problems.

First up holding player 1 button and scrolling to list ends and through the alphabet isn't working :( It just jumps per page and then when you release 1 launches the game currently selected.

Next up while in game pressing 1up & 2up doesnt exit the game :(

Any ideas?

Hi Neil,

Are you using a keyboard encoder (like the IPac)
mGalaxy is set to use those encoder, their programming is shown on the FAQ/Help page (http://www.mgalaxy.com/help.html) under the "Using the joystick and buttons" label.

Cheers,
Neil

Hmm, thats interesting.

Works with the IPac but not with the keyboard using the same key binds/inputs.

Oh well.

Thanks for making a cool frontend. Am changing over from ArcadeEPIC to yours.

Yep, that's normal.

An example, how to quit mGalaxy:
If you use the keyboard only, you should press the "ESCape" key
...but with the IPac, the same "ESC" is sent with the combination of Plyr1&Plyr2 buttons.

Another example, browsing to previous letter:
If you use the keyboard only, you should press the "Enter" key
...but with the IPac, the same "ESC" is sent with the combination of Plyr1&JoystickLeft.

(I must confess that chart is not very clear, I will made a new one as soon as possible).
Is it more clear with those explanations?
