Config file / Keyboard setup (Something that's been bugging me for a while) - Mikerochip - 12-05-2015

Hi!

Superb emulator!
And my thanks for creating it Smile

Castlevania (Circle of the Moon) has never looked so crisp!
(If a tad bright!)

I'm running mGBA on Windows 10 x64, (I previously ran it on Win 8.1).
(It happened on 8.1 also, btw)

My question:

Is there a way to use the CTRL / ALT / SHIFT keys by themselves?
Whenever I remap the keys, it always treats those keys as a modifier key.

I have an Ultimarc keyboard encoder, set up under the original Hotrod / Mame key bindings.
(CTRL, ALT, Space, SHIFT, Z, X, C with player one start = 1)

I looked up the QT key values from here, http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qt.html#Key-enum

and tried converting the hex values there to decimal, and manually entering them in the INI file!
Which doesn't work!

Or. Well. It does. It works fine,
but I get random program crashes every time I try to use the program for more than a few mins.
(Sometimes within a few seconds of starting gameplay)

If you want to reproduce it quickly, try playing Super Streetfighter.
It rarely lasts to the end of the first round.
(In both windowed and fullscreen)

My INI:
[input.QT_K]
keyL=16777249
keyR=16777251
keyStart=49
keyDown=50
keyLeft=52
keyB=16777248
keyUp=56
keyA=90
keyRight=54
keySelect=67

So, I'm using
L= CTRL
R= ALT
B=SHIFT
A=Z

I tried just using SHIFT, X, Z and Space, and that works too, but, while crashes are less frequent, they still happen within the first minute of execution.

Any ideas?

Which version are you using? Try using a nightly if you're not already.

Sorry, I should have said.
Yes, I've tried this on a 2.x, 3.x and the most recent nightly.

I've also tried removing every other existing shortcut, just in case.
(And setting Exit to F12, just so it isn't accidentally activating that, somehow)

This should be fixed in the next nightly.
