Author Topic: Help with configuring mame buttons.. (Read 2217 times)

shateredsoul · « **on:** March 10, 2010, 01:46:15 am »

I was wondering if someone already had set up a hybrid controller.cfg? If so how did you go about doing this?

I'm using left click and right click as the buttons for my 4 way joystick (so I can also use them with the trackball as a mouse)

but i'm having issues wrapping my head around the idea of how to program the buttons for the hybrid layout

so for capcom it would be

123
456 with 1 being left click and 2 being right click

and for neo geo it would be

1234 (again 1 being left click and 2 being right click)

and here is the layout (except it curves)

OOO
OOO
O

any ideas of how I could go about setting this up? I'm new to this, so I would appreciate help on how to reconfigure the controller layouts. Even a link. (do I have to configure every single neo geo game seperately? or can I do one change that would affect all neo geo games? and how could i change so all games see button 1 and 2 as left click and right click

man i'm confused

As I try to configure the cfg I noticed that

midtunit.c, midyunit.c, were configured.. what systems do these controls belong to? I can figure out cps1,2,3 and neogoe.. but no idea what these mean

I'm sure there is a way for MAME to automatically map the buttons, but I never figured it out. I just map each game myself.

midtunit.c is the Midway T-unit system, with such games as NBA Jam and some versions of Mortal Kombat.

midyunit.c is the Williams/Midway Y/Z-unit system, running Narc, Smash TV, Terminator 2, and more.

A whole list of "systems" in MAME can be found here. Interesting to see the documented stuff on each system.

Ahh i see.. well my button layout is nothing like the mortal kombat one, so maybe i'll leave that to match the default. Or what do you guys think about that?

I set both middle buttons of the SF portion as the middle button for MK games.

1 2 3
4 2 5

So this is my configuration so far.. does this make sense? *** I forgot to mention that p3 and p4 are mapped on to xbox 360 controllers**

this is what I'm going to reconfigure the ipac to match

   1 2 3

mouse0, mouse 1, T

O 4 5 6 <--- where O is the extra button that will only be used for neo geo (note this numbering does not match mame, I just used it to help me
z, U, Y, X,

player 2

1 2 3

a s d

O 4 5 6

q w e r

start 1 = 1
coind 1 = 5
start 2 = 2
coin 2 = 6

escape = esc

1up - q
1down-i
1left-o
1right-p

2up-j
2down-k
2left-L
2right-p

B = Pause

*just added* "G"= genre (hyperspin); "M" = Favorites (for hyperspin and maxmius, will have to edit these)

I chose the letter randomly, but I tried to avoid control, alt, and shift buttons

I have attached the mame.cfg, could someone check over it? Also will these keys work for a ipac? I think so far it looks like it'll be fine and that I haven't overlapped any buttons. this is suppose to be the default configuration), also how can I put in the left,up,right, and down arrow? I accidently mapped it to the config up down left and right to the joystick.
