VMMaker shows only 1 analog output for 5450 where Calamity Guide says 2?
Duffy:
Thanks man!
No wonder you know how to do all this. I’m just happy I know what file explorer is lol. I hear even that’s becoming rarified knowledge.
Lol at being freaked out by a mouse 😂
Ok so I’m in General Settings > Input Assignments > User Interface, and there it shows:
Show/hide menu. .. tab not alt not right alt
..
UI Cancel. .. Esc
So that should work, but tab and esc still do nothing.
I looked in input devices and I see that under keyboard, it’s just my wireless controller listed. My bluetooth keyboard is not there as an option. Strangely, I can type letters in the search box, but tab, esc, and enter do nothing.
I tried to reset the ini like you said, but having the same problem. Have to alt tab and click x to exit mame. The sounds get sped up while I’m doing that.
Edit: i tried a plug in keyboard too, no dice

I'd guess that it has something to do with your Bluetooth keyboard, proper recognition by windows/GM, conflicts in device manager. GM might not even be looking for a Bluetooth keyboard.
Bluetooth has always been a bit hit-and-miss. It is essentially a wireless standard, but implementation by manufacturers seems to be a variable, and you need both the sender and receiver to be good and interference minimal. Range is meant to be like 10m, but in practice can be less than 1m. Sometimes it works great, other times not.
Try the "plug in" keyboard (I assume you mean USB) again, but this time also remove the Bluetooth completely (turn it off) and reboot machine so that it re-allocates device IDs to everything. Then see what you get in GM.
I've been using these "2.4Ghz mini wireless keyboards" with my arcade machines are they are great. All the main online marketplaces have them. The only issue I've had is that my cabs have metal control panels which tend to block the signal, so sometimes have to move it up or down a little.

Ok, tried that, atill having the same issue. Those 2.4 ghz travel keyboards are pretty cool, that would be useful for my kvm switch when i’m trying to switch over and do linux stuff on my steam deck, I’ve got a modified driver for one of my bluetooth dongles for dolphin and it doesn’t like it when i unplug either one of them.
Btw did you get my message? Hard to tell if stuff sent on here, don’t know if there’s a sent folder anywhere.

Saving sent PMs is turned off by default.
- Go into your profile. (click on your username or the "profile" icon at the top of the page)
- Go into the "Modify Profile -- Personal Messaging" menu.
- Enable "Save a copy of each personal message in my sent items by default.".
- Click on "Change Profile".
To see your sent PMs, click on "My Messages -- Read Your Messages" then above the list of messages click on "Messages -- Sent Items". :cheers:

Perhaps someone else has some insight.
Here's an idea. You have multiple controllers. If you look in mame.ini under "CORE INPUT OPTIONS", there is an option to enable multiple keyboards. Try enabling that:
-multikeyboard 1
I got your message and replied.
Thanks Scott for the info.
