Exiting WHDLoad games

[NightShadowPT]

Hi,

When trying to exit WDHLoad games, F10 works flawlessly everytime, but some games use "Prt Scr" and it does not recognize the key press (I always have to reboot to go back to workbench).

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks

Cheers,

Sure, change the exit key in the tooltype to whatever you wish.

You can also change the default exit key in the whdload config file. Just make sure to use one which is not used by any game you play

Late to party but, I found this info in another old forum after wanting to do same. Try '*' on your keyboard's keypad - if it has one.
I tried this on Speedball 2 and Frontier and it worked like a charm - or even a PrntScrn for that matter.

Set the global exit key to DEL, like we do in MegaAGS — I have still to find a game that uses that as an in-game key.

Here's what keys are mapped to exit whdload keys, from what I've played around:

Help key - F11 (eg. Prince of Persia)
PrtSc - * on numpad - most of the games (eg. High Seas Trader etc etc)
F10 - F10 - second used key (eg. Gods, Lotus 3 etc)
Esc - Esc (eg. Never Ending Story 2)
Del - Del (e.g. HeroQuest)
NumL - PgDn (eg. Midwinter)

Think a game required F9, but I don't remember for the heck of it. hope it helps

When booting a WHDLoad game, the screen that pops up shortly should display the exit key specific for the WHDLoad game you are launching. It is often Print Screen or F10.

Just push "*" on keyboard by number pad when you need PrtScr. (that is mapped button)

Or change to what you want that key to be. (I usually don't change it)

To make it permanent change for all games, in S folder you can change it in whdload config file.
