Hello. I'm using DOSBox 0.65 and I'm trying to use GameEx (latest current version) as a front-end;
I have one game that will start *only* by pressing Escape;
pressing Escape causes GameEx to shut down the game.
I mapped the Escape key to the End key and vice versa but this affects all games/emulations in DOSBox.
Is there a way to associate a key mapping to a single .conf file/emulation?

Sure. Create a config-file specifically for your game, and point mapperfile=..... in the config to your new mapping.

Sorry for bumping an old topic but could anyone tell me how to "Create a config-file specifically for your game, and point mapperfile=..... in the config to your new mapping."?? Is it possible to do using D-fend?
