Damn, nice job on that guide!
Would you mind if I included it in the ControllerRemap Zip?
Of course, I'd leave it as is with full attribution. I'm just thinking it might help people out to get two distinct views on the process.
Thanks again for writing that up!
stigzler:
No worries and feel free to include. :)
Thanks for a good app. :applaud:

Great utility you have here if i could get it to work ... its been driving me up the walls. First off when i test it using the utility it remaps everything correctly, when i launch MAME it seems like nothing is getting remapped I have a smilier setup to WADE007,
also when i launch hyperspin and i press the start button all the keys go blank as if nothing got assigned at all
can someone please help?

Sorry you're having troubles. Let's take a look at a few things

This one's likely the easiest, you'll need a <controller id='keyboard' section in <system name="default">, or no keys will be mapped. This is because ControllerRemap doesn't "merge" mappings into the configuration, it clears and then rewrites the entire <system><input> section and that's the only section that MAME reads when loading the configuration up.

if it's working when you test it, but not when you actually launch mame, there's only a couple likely issues.
1) you're not launching mame with the -ctrlr YourFile.cfg option. If you don't, mame won't know to load your customized controller CFG file. if the CFG file is updated, but just doesn't contain any KEYMAPS, then this is likely the problem.
2) the way you're executing ControllerRemap is causing the remapped CFG file to be written to the wrong location. Normally, controller files are CFG files that should live in \Mame\ctrlr. A bit unlikely, esp if you have the CFG files inthe ctrlr dir, but it's worth mentioning.
3) the only other possibility I can think of is that you might not have however you're launching mame set up right to properly invoke ControllerRemap before launching mame, so the CFG file isn't getting updated at all. One clue here would be that the CFG file doesn't have an updated timestamp after you launch and quite mame. It should ALWAYS get updated by ControllerRemap if it's being run.
4) The only other possibility is that there's some kind of XML formatting issue with the CFG file that's preventing Mame from loading it. A bit unlikely, since usually ControllerRemap will also barf on the file, but it's possible.
Let me know if any of that doesn't make sense

still not working there are no other files in the ctrlr folder besides my own config file
