New ControllerRemap utility, 7/11/13 update available (Version 0.0.11)

<< < (21/47) > >>

drventure:
Not sure if anyone else is interested in the fixes to support MESS KEYPAD type entries, but I've put together some fixes that should resolve the issue. I can test with mocked up devices, but I don't have any real devices to test with.

If anyone is interested, let me know. I'd rather not post the new build till I have a pretty good idea that it'll work for people.

Shoot me a pm or post here if you're interested.

Hello Dr Venture. I just had one question. Does this utility work with other programs/games/emulators as well? I don't really have a use for it in MAME, but it would help with other emulators such as Model 2, etc.

Unfortunately, not that I know of. I don't run many other emus, so I definitely haven't tested it, but ControllerRemap basically just rewrites the MAME INI configuration file, so the only way it'd possibly work with other emu's is if they read the mame config files. To my knowledge, none of them do that.

Thanks :(  :embarassed:

If the problem is of a similar nature, it might be possible to get the app to support other emus.

I'm just not familiar with the controller configs of other emus.

Is what you're running into that a USB device is mapped one way one time you run the emu, and another way other times?  A lot of it has to do with the way the EMU identifies the hardware. If it does it right, it won't care where the controller is plugged in.

Unfortunately, Mame doesn't handle controllers quite that way, it uses an enumeration ID (basically just a number, 1-x) of the device. But since windows has a nasty habit of renumbering devices for various reasons, that technique results in mismaps.

If Model2 IDs devices the same way, it might be possible for CR to perform remapping on it's controller files.

If you've got some before and after config files, I could take a look.
