According to your ascii diagram it looks like each button is just mapped to a number. I have mine mapped to the buttons that mame uses such as left ctrl, left alt, space, shift, z, and x. I also have buttons mapped to esc, p, 5, and 1 for exit, pause, player 1 coin, and player 1 start respectively. That could be why they aren't performing the functions you're expecting? Here are the mame defualt controls copied and pasted from another thread in this forum: Player 1: Button 1 - Left Control Button 2 - Left Alt Button 3 - Spacebar Button 4 - Left Shift Button 5 - Z Button 6 - X Button 7 - C Button 8 - V Button 9 - B Button 10 - N Start - 1 Coin - 5 Up - Up Arrow Down - Down Arrow Left - Left Arrow Right - Right Arrow Player 2: Button 1 - A Button 2 - S Button 3 - Q Button 4 - W Up - R Down - F Left - D Right - G Start - 2 Coin - 6 Player 3: Button 1 - Right Control Button 2 - Right Shift Button 3 - Enter Up - I Down - K Left - J Right - L Start - 3 Coin - 7 Player 4: Button 1 - 0 Pad Button 2 - Del Pad Button 3 - Enter Pad Up - 8 Pad Down - 2 Pad Left - 4 Pad Right - 6 Pad Start - 4 Coin - 8 |

Oh crap I'm sorry the numbers meant Button #. They are mapped similar to what you listed there. Like P1 Button 1 = Left Control P1 Button 2 = Left Alt etc... I guess the point of what I'm getting at overall is two things. 1: Having to customize controls for so many friggin games seems daunting. I was wondering if there was something someone has already done to sort of standardize this to make it easier. I've already done the "Set for all games" option but it's just like fighting games where they're sort of flipped around where things need be be tweeked. 2: If 1 isn't really possible (more than likely not), I'd like to make it stupid simple to quickly remap buttons on the fly if we play a game that we haven't played before without having to reach for the keyboard. The only thing I need to do this is to create 2 new buttons. One for TAB and one for ENTER. I don't exactly know if there's room on the ipac for this though so I'm not sure how to do it. I know I can just use the keyboard but I am approaching this like I am my HTPC. If I have to break away from the remote and grab a keyboard, it's not user friendly. Same here. I'd like the keyboard to collect dust! :) --- Quote from: Vidiot on July 28, 2011, 08:48:17 am ---According to your ascii diagram it looks like each button is just mapped to a number.

To map controls for all mame games - play a game in mame then press TAB. go to general settings then set your controls you want. If it doesnt save them for all games then there is a problem with the mame.ini file i suspect. IPAC can reprogram on the fly but ive never needed to. Use WINIPAC utility (you can get from ultimarcs website) to program ipac. Its very easy to work out how to do. |

MK has a weird layout; you might hafta set those 4 games up manually (5 if you include WWE) |
