If you open up mGalaxy_Runway.exe, select the key mapping tab, select the "call the onscreen keyboard" key mapping (which is set to "space") and press the space key (attempting to replace "space" with "space", the application crashes.
I can't reproduce this neither on XP SP2, nor Win 7 and Win 8!!
Bug: using mGalaxy Runway to remap navigation keys (Browse 1 up, Browse 1 down, Page up, Page down) does not seem to remap controls within other menus (such as the keyboard entry, or the configuration settings). The main menu successfully used the remapped keys (which allows my joystick to select games on the main screen), but the default arrow keys still work on the other popup menus like the keyboard entry menu. (This is on WinXP SP3).
You're right! Thanks for reporting this!
That said, this "bug" might be there from more than 1 year...and nobody never noticed it (that makes me things that there isn't a lot of people remapping the arrow keys ;-)
I'll work on this as soon as I get some time!!
Install Confusion: When I install the new mGalaxy, it creates a directory with the executable, but does not add program shortcuts anywhere. Took me a few minutes to figure out that it had successfully installed and remember where I had directed it to put the program. Perhaps installation could finish with a message box saying "Successfully installed mGalaxy! Remember to run the runway application next to set you configuration from %path%directory." and offer to open up the folder with the install?
Yes, that's right..I'll work on this too!!
Is "Available ROMS Only" a default selection? I could not figure out how to get rid of the 20,000 game list from Mame until I clicked on this, and then it happily showed me the 41 ROMs I had installed. If this is default, does it needs to be run the first time the program starts? If it's not default, I'd have preferred that it was.
No, "Show Available Roms Only" is 'OFF' by default...but onece changed, the setting will be kept 'in memory' from one session to another
Clarification: "Erase Mame roms database" is a confusing button because it does not indicate that it did something when you push it. Perhaps you could make it report "Database erased." or "MAME database will restart with next MAME load." or something. You could also change the capitalization of that button to "Erase MAME ROMs database".
You're right once again ;-)
A text will be displayed near of the button, once clicked!
English Grammar Nit: Message "Useful when upgrading to a new MAME version. To force MAME to rebuilt a new database." could be changed to "This option forces MAME to rebuild its database of available game ROMs. This is useful when upgrading to a new MAME version."
This is actually something that I'm looking for since..the beginning! Someone that would help me keep the site (and application) free from english language error!
Thanks for this "correction"...and you're welcome to submit each error that you might meet! ;-)
