[Question] Exit AdvMame (GPi case)

KimDb

Please note I also posted this question as a reply in this thread.
The OP question in that thread was unanswered before I replied.

I noticed I'm not able to exit advmame when using
Start+Select on my GPi case.

This is how exiting is defined in the advmame.rc config file:
input_map[ui_cancel] joystick_button[0,8] joystick_button[0,9] or keyboard[0,esc]
It is configured likewise in the advmame-1.4.rc config file and it does exit using that version.
- Tip: setting MISC_SAFEQUIT = no should allow for exiting without a confirmation popup.

I'm wondering though: since I'd like to use advmame instead of advmame-1.4 for some particular roms, does anyone have a solution to the exit not working on advmame (when using GPi case)?

Addition #1: advmame-1.4.rc (Exit Working)

Addition #2: advmame.rc (Exit Not Working)

perhaps you've already seen this?: https://sinisterspatula.github.io/RetroflagGpiGuides/EmulatorChart

i use advmame-0.94 on my GPi for a couple games and it works great, but i don't use the Advanced Control Framework mentioned on the linked page; i used a bluetooth keyboard to press tab to get into the input options.

@pajordan just for interest: is there a special reason why you dont use the current AdvanceMame 3.9? AFAIK the Updates dont need more performance.

@sirhenrythe5th no reason other than 0.94 was listed on the compatibility chart i linked to and it worked for me. i use lr-mame2000 for most mame games on the GPi (pi zero w).

@KimDb
hope its not late,I just sign up recently and saw this topic, I have solved this by change this line to
input_map[ui_cancel] keyboard[0,esc] or joystick_button[045e_028e,y] joystick_button[045e_028e,mode]
, for now it can be exit by select + x, I can not figure out why the start button seems can not be detected in this advance mame.
