--- Quote from: jedimason on February 11, 2004, 09:32:52 am ---So I have my ipac4 hooked up to each individual controller(1-4) on standard mame settings. So I have the default config which will be set up for the with 1 and 2 players on the side panel and 3 and 4 on each end. Then I add another .ini with the configuration of the 3 and 4 players as the 1 and 2 for the vertical games... All I have to do is use that same config with all of the vertical games and everthing should work out. I just have to make hundreds of them with the name of the individual game's title. Is this correct? --- End quote --- Yep, basically, Here's a few shorcuts: You can define a neogeo.ini file which works for all the neogeo games. MAME has some other shortcut files but I'm not sure what they are (vector.ini, I think, etc.) I'm pretty sure if you define an .ini file for the parent games, all clones will use that setting as well. Finally, think through all the possibilities on the FIRST file BEFORE you copy it over. It's easier to make one change in the beginning than find you need to change 400 files later. . . |

Okay, I've been messing around with mame32 even though that's not what I'm going to be using in the end, but for right now with my limited capablities it is the easiest to use. Since I will be having a third panel on the side and my monitor will be oriented thay way, I will still have to go into all of the vertical files and tell it to rotate the screen.(I think the command is ror 1) At that time I can just tell it to also use my new ctrl folder i set up for the vertical games with the player joystick controls flip floped. Does this sound right? Am I making any sense? |

Try to search old posts by him or PM him. I don't know about MAME 32, but in MAME, you set the ctrlr.ini folder in the mame.ini file (different purpose files with the same extension >:( ) and then MAME automatically looks there for your key assignments. You don't have to tell each game where to find the files. |

Not following you there. Some of the games will be vertical, most will be horizontal. The default control setting will be the horizontal ones with the two joysticks on the third control panel as 1 and 2. Won't I still have to tell each vertical game to rotate the screen through it's own .ini file? |
