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

<< < (30/47) > >>

stigzler:
Thanks Nick, but that didn't work either. :(

I have two ini files - one in root mame directory and the other in the INI folder under root. I changed both to:


--- Code: ---rompath                   J:\roms
hashpath                  hash
samplepath                samples
artpath                   artwork
ctrlrpath                 C:\Emulators\Mame0149b\ctrlr
inipath                   ini
fontpath                  .
cheatpath                 cheat
crosshairpath             crosshair

--- End code ---

Still no joy. :( Any other ideas?

stigzler:
Update - it appears as though it is my MAME setup, somehow. I tried with the "Hotrod" ctrlr file and still no joy. Doesn't make any sense to me this, though. mame.ini is pointing towards the ctrlr folder in mame root. But appears not to be reading this.

My mame.ini file in mame root:

I ran into this problem a while back. I Can't remember exactly what I did to make it work, but once it worked I couldn't recreate the error again. Try this;

(you have your roms in a different drive, I would put just one rom in the default rom folder to test)


1. Delete the current mame.ini at the root of mame. (backup the file if you have custom settings)

2. Delete the mame.ini in the ini folder (don't have two mame.ini's because that just complicates it)

3. run mame to confirm that it runs without errors and it will load just the default settings. Exit out of mame.

4. create a new mame.ini, "mame.exe -cc"

5. Edit that new mame.ini that is in the root, Add the name of your controller to it.

6. Run mame again and see if it loads your controller


Hope that works.

thanks mmg1 - nice of someone to take the time to try and help. I'm a bit loathe to go messing with the ini's as have other settings in there that does various things and don't want to loose them!! However - getting nowhere fast with this + may have to give it a go.

However, I don't quite get your point 5 above - when you say add name of controller to it - what do I put where - can't see any section in the ini for this!

I'm wondering whether it's something wrong with the xml format and that's why mame can't load it - the xml is above.

thanks
