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

[MydknyteStyrm]

Did you have Controllerremap set in HyperHQ? I know it works when starting Hyperspin, but not when I just test games thru the RL interface.

Sorry - don't use either HyperHQ or RL

Thanks so much for this program. My mouse and joystick numbers were stable under Windows 7. But when I updated my MAME Cabs to Windows 10, the mouse and joystick numbers were mixed up after every boot.

Andy W. from Ultimarc pointed me to ControllerRemap.

I did find one issue: There is an inconsistency between the IDs given in the list function and how they are used in the remap function.

My Joysticks are listed like so (IDs 0-7)
   1.  'AKI2', ID=2
   2.  'AKI2', ID=3
   3.  'AKI1', ID=0
   4.  'AKI3', ID=4
   5.  'AKI1', ID=1
   6.  'AKI4', ID=6
   7.  'AKI3', ID=5
   8.  'AKI4', ID=7

But in order to have the input tag populated, I have to reference them like so (IDs 1 and 2 only):
   1. AKI2:1
   2. AKI2:2
   3. AKI1:1
   4. AKI3:1
   5. AKI1:2
   6. AKI4:1
   7. AKI3:2
   8. AKI4:2

I just discovered this, so I have not yet verified that the using this workaround will generate the correct Joystick numbers.

BTW: I'm using Version 0.0.11.

UPDATE:

I've verified that referencing the Joysticks using the IDs 1 and 2 does correctly populate the input tag. So, I'm good to go. I think the bugs are in the list feature, first for starting the ID number with 0 (not 1) and second for not resetting the ID number even though the Controllers did not have the exact same name.

[drventure]

Glad its more or less working for you.  Haven't had any other reports of the number mixup like this,  but I haven't run it on win 10 iether.

I'll have a look and see if I can figure out whats up.

Thanks for the report!

[mark shaker]

drventure:

Thank you for developing and continuing to support ControllerRemap.

This is really minor, as once I figured out what was happening with the IDs, the workaround was easy.

Please let me know f I can provide any info to help.

Based on my experience with Win10, I think that ControllerRemap is going to get a bump in usage. :-)

Oooh.... I think I know what's going on.

It looks like you have 8 sticks installed, but there are pairs that come up with the same ID NAME. Is that correct?

If it is, then what happens in ControllerRemap normally matches on the NAME, not the ID, because the whole problem is that the IDs can change out from under you.
That's why you basically need to just ignore the ID numbers in the list. They're there mainly to point out what IDs windows has set them to "right now". But that doesn't mean when you unplug one and plug it back in, they'll end up with the same id.

What happens is Cremap realizes there's TWO controllers that both have the same name, so it says "Ok the first instance of that controller is "1" and the second instance is "2" etc.

So then, later, when you refer to those controllers in your cfg file, you refer to them as "AK2:1", which actually means "the first instance of a controller in the group of controllers that are all named "AK2".

I hope that makes sense.

One thing you might do in this case is check out the ALIASING feature in cremap.

It allows you to say something like

"AK2:1" = "LeftUpperStick"
"AK2:2" = "LeftLowerStick"

and then refer to them in the CFG file as

"LeftUpperStick" or "LeftLowerStick" so that it reads a little clearer.

I have a Pacmamea MAME Cab with 5 rotating panels.  It has 4 AKI (Arcade Kontrol Interface) boards. Each AKI shows up as a 3 axis joystick + a 2 axis joystick.  One of features of the AKI board was that it could be ordered with different names (AKI1 through AKI4), so that windows would not get the different boards mixed up. And in my experience, Windows has never mixed up one AKI's 3 axis and 2 axis controller.

So I still think that there is a small issue the ControllerRemap (maybe just under with Win10): The IDs given by the /list command do not match the IDs I have to use in <controlleralias> tag.

My list output and <controlleralias> tags are below. Notice that the /list shows AKI4 with IDs 6 and 7, but in the <controlleralias> tags I had to use AKI4 with IDs 1 and 2.

Here is my list:

I actually have 13 different "ctrlr" .cfg files. (But most share a common section that includes the <controlleralias> tags and <controller> tags for the keyboard and pedals.)  I set the most common ctrlr file as the default, and assign the others to individual games. I set up a batch file that remaps all the ctrlr files that use either mice or analog sticks, and then launches MameUI.

I'm very grateful for ControllerRemap. Without it I would not have been able to upgrade my cabinet to Win10.

[drventure]

So I still think that there is a small issue the ControllerRemap (maybe just under with Win10): The IDs given by the /list command do not match the IDs I have to use in <controlleralias> tag.

I don't believe there's an issue here.

The thing is (and I suspect this might be a bit confusing, so I'll look at possibly changing the wording), the ID number that shows in the list generated by /LIST has nothing to do with how to reference a controller in the CFG file.

For instance, I see that you have a single AK stick controller that actually exposes 2 "sticks" to windows, as in AKI4 ID 6 and ID 7.

No problem there.

But, since windows can shift those IDs around on a whim, the ID numbers listed are ONLY valid for RIGHT NOW. They might be (and likely will be) completely different if you unplugged 3 sticks and moved them to different USB ports, or powered off, or any number of other things.

So, consider those ID numbers as for INFORMATION and curiosity only. You really can't use them for much else.


When you go to set up your CFG file (or files), what you need to know is the name of the controller "AKI4" and, if there are multiple instances of it, which instance you want to use.

So, when you reference

"AKI4:2"

this is NOT saying "controller AKI4 with an ID of 2"

instead, it's saying "The second instance of a controller in the group of controllers that are all named "AKI4""



So, in short, while it can be helpful from a debugging perspective to know the joystick ID number (and indeed that's why it's including the the info that the /LIST command outputs), from the standpoint of configuring your controller file, you need to ignore the ID numbers.

I had to re-read the documentation to figure out where I got confused: I did not realize that the JoystickID number given by the list command and the instance number were 2 separate things. (I thought the two processes listed on page 16 for specifying a joystick when there were several with the same name were just different syntax for using the same identifying number.)

I apologize for being so thick.

And now my confusion will be preserved on the internet until the end of time. :-(

[drventure]

No worries. It can be a bit confusing to get CtrlRemap working, but then, the problem itself is pretty dang confusing.

Glad you got things going!

[sin360]

Hello, I'm currently trying to finish my cabinet and I'm running into issues with my ctrlr file in mame. I made it using controllerremapgui and P1,P2 the trackball and spinner work, but P3&4 are not. The joysticks are not working and the buttons are not configured correctly. I compiled my mame64 0.155 with hiscore and no nag. Here is a pastebin of my ctrlr file. http://pastebin.com/EYKLKuXY

I forgot to add that with no control file selected I have the same issue.

[drventure]

It's hard to be sure what's going on. It looks like things are mapped right in your ctlr file.

If you have a look at the generated result file (or use the /test option) does the keymapping look right there?

You mention that things don't work even without the ctrlr file in the mix. If that's the case, you may not have you keyboard encoder mapped to the keys you thing it should be mapped to.

For instance, p4 joystick down is the N key in the ctrlr file, but if your keyboard encoder isn't set up like that (or if you've got the switch wire wired to the wrong input on the ctlr, then that'd be a problem.

Those a few things to check for anyway.

[sin360]

Sorry I forgot to mention that I made a ctrlr config using the hotrose config as a starting point and added P3&4 and they worked,  but I couldn't get the trackball and spinner to work in that file.

[stigzler]

Have you checked any default mame or game .cfgs in mame/cfg folder? Any controls in cfg folders here can stop ctrlremap.cfgs working. More details here:

https://controllerremapgui.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Setting%20up%20Per-Game%20Settings&referringTitle=Documentation

[sin360]

Ok I made progress still not sure exactly why my ctrlr config is not working as it should, but the controls are working now.  First yes I got rid of all my configs and started from scratch and still had the same issue. I was originally using mameuifx before I decided to compile my own copy of mame64 which got me know where. It was in the back of my head the whole time that mame was using some default, but the file was empty and I figured that my config should override it, but it didn't.

So long story short I loaded mame64 went to the general config and looked at players 3&4 and they were setup to defaults. So I changed just players 3&4 and now everything works as it should. I opened up he default config and it has the players 3&4 now. So I added my neogeo setup to the ctrlr file I was using and everything works well now.

Thank You all for the help

Dr. Venture, thank you for this utility, it's amazing.

Just got it set up yesterday.  Set up was for a cocktail table, U360's on each end via USB. On the long side a U360 via USB, trackball and spinner via usb, and a mini grip via UltiMarc I/0 (connected as player 2 on the board, then USB).

Before setting up ControllerRemap, I'd never been able to use 1 joy and spinner/track at same time, was always plugging/unplugging.

Now EVERYTHING is working perfect.  Even have multi mouse enabled, so no accidental track/spinner nudges.  What an amazing utility.  Great documentation.  Very straight forward.

I've been able to set up correctly per game overrides for unique joy/spinner combos now, just works great.

I was never able to get the /mame argument to working with Mala (but would work command line).  However, the batch command method and having Mala call that worked just fine.

Member PL1 pointed me in the direction of your utility.  You did a great job on it.

Hi, this utility would be really helpful.. I have built a new system using Windows 10 and found that it often shifts around usb devices. I tried preparing a configuration file, but I always get the following error when doing /Remap:

Unexpected problem encountered. System.NullReferenceException: Riferimento a un oggetto non impostato su un'istanza di oggetto.

This is what I get when I list devices:

My devices are all connected to a 7 port D-Link HUB; I suspect it is the source of two "empty" devices that I believe are confusing the enumeration. Any suggestion?

Thank you.

[stigzler]

Away from my setup for a while so cant check. However, that xml isnt looking right. Compare it with other cfgs in this topuc.

[putto72]

Well, that's what "/save" spits out, I have not touched it...

[Endprodukt]

I can't setup my Spinners correctly. They should use the spot "Dial Analog" in the default config but will not be bound to them in MAME. Controller Port says DIAL only, might that be a problem? Changing it to P1_DIAL_ANALOG didn't help though.

Looking at the Defaul Config (launched by RemapGUI) it will change the Guns correctly but Spinner 1, Spinner 2 and Trackball are all set to Mouse 1.

FYI, I submitted a pull request to fix this issue in MAME itself - see http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,151710.0.html. Take a look at the approach and let me know what you think.

We love your Controller Remap Program so much! We can't thank you enough for such a great contribution to the MAME community! To do our part, we created an easy to use GUI interface. It's fee to use and available to everyone! Now you can setup controllers in MAME in less than 5 minutes for up to 6 players. Enjoy!

That does look good - a lot more user friendly than mine - cheers chaps - be interested to hear how it performs.

Hey all, MAME 0.178 now includes preliminary support for persistent controller ID mappings. This should help address controller mapping issues -  similar to ControllerRemap but built into MAME itself. If you're interested, check out the documentation @ [url]http://docs.mamedev.org/advanced/devicemap.html]http://docs.mamedev.org/advanced/devicemap.html

I wanted to give back, since i've pulled so much info from arcadecontrols in the past couple years! drventure and tverona have helped greatly to solve a problem i have with one of my machines that has 12 emulators, and 7 controllers that get reordered constantly..

Since drventure's configuration works only for MAME, I wrote a script which uses the output of your controllerRemap /list command to enumerate the joysticks, and get the directinput ID. it then goes through a file, replaces certain joystick identifiers with the directinput ID, and writes it out to the config file that the emulator exists. This can be a mame cfg, or any other emulator's .ini file.

0) use joyID to list change the device order to something expected. This usually sticks unless you add another controller, but games do not use it.. drVenture's app displays the controller with this identifier though!!
1) Save the below script as a vbs file in the same directory as controllerremap.exe
2) copy your emulators config file (i used a name like  replace.xxxxxxx so i could keep track of them easily)
3) find the controller names in controllerRemap list, and copy the identifying info. for this example i used ''SNES Controller', ID=5" and "'SNES Controller', ID=6"
4) in the copy of your emulators config, replace the joystick number with double brackets surrounding your unique information (ie. <<'SNES Controller', ID=5>>).

the script then goes through, pulls the current directinput ID from controllerRemap, and rewrites your .cfg or .ini file, replacing the controllers unique identifier with the DirectInput ID...
I run this at hyperspin startup, and works great!

I know its WAAY overcomplicated, and i might write a console app to take care of it instead of having to modify a script every..  but
if i did that, i would probably just find a way to grab the directInput IDs directly, without using controllerRemap /list..  and this way was quicker, since you have already done the legwork!

Does this work to retain light guns ids as well? i´ve tried but not results, thxs

[tony.silveira]

seems to work on my end with caveat:

when exiting a game, the utility stays in focus, the FE licks up.  a quick click on the FE and it unfreezes.

FYI, I submitted a pull request to fix this issue in MAME itself - see http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,151710.0.html. Take a look at the approach and let me know what you think.

I still have the same problem today with MAME .197

I did try the Arcade Guns Pro utility and it's very easy to setup which is it's biggest flaw. Very user friendly but not no customizing for the UI controlls as far as I can tell. I wasn't able to get it working from within Hyperspin as well, just by launching Mame directly. I did however work with the Dial/Trimmer for my spinners. I whish I could get those to be recognized correctly with RemapGui. Any suggestions?

Hello gentlemen,

Not sure where else I can post this one. I figured i has something to do with controller remapping. Sorry if I'm in the way.

My question has to do with getting 4 USB Tornado Spinners to work in Mame on a Windows 7 system (64). Windows has given each spinner a different device id, but I'm not sure if this can be configured in Mame. I'm now starting to think that I need non-usb optical spinners hooked into an i-pac or Opti-pac sort of rig. I was messing around with this ages ago when AnalogmameXP was out. But that was ages ago -like 12 years ago if not more.

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance
