But..I opened notepad.exe and I noticed that my buttons are producing output.  For example my left white button located on the side of the x-arcade spits out the number 3.  The right button spits out number 4.  My white player 1 start button spits out number 1.

The controller works fine in Mame32, but it does not work with mame commandline  & mamewah.

Please help, I really want to use Mamewah as a front end.

Sounds like your X-Arcade is working then...try what I said (using it in MAMEWAH) but use '2' on your keyboard to bring the menu up.  As I say the default MAMEWAH config will work with X-Arcade (you might want to remap P2 Start for yours, go into Control Options > Customise Controls).

You need to set your controller (ctrlr) to 'xarcade' in your MAME ini file for it to work correctly in MAME.  Read the MAME docs and http://www.mameworld.net/easyemu/ ...

My solution:

Originally I was trying to use mame & mamewah and that's why I was having problems.  I guess I didn't know how to configure the mame ini files or something.  So I gave up that configuration.


So...I went with mame32 & Mamewah.  I didn't think mamewah would work with mame32, but it does!  Wahoo!  Now I can configure mame32 ini files under the /ctrl/ini files for my x-arcade.  Works for me.

Anyone else use mame32 & mamewah?

So your X-Arcade does work with MAMEWAH now??  If I may say so you were a little confusing about what the problem was...changing to MAME32 would not affect how the X-Arcade works with MAMEWAH itself...

A few people use MAME32, although I do not usually recommend it.  If it all works OK for you then there is no real reason to change tho :)

MameMe:

I have no idea why telling mamewah to use mame32 instead of mame corrected the problem.  I'm assuming its because mame32 has an option under "Default Game Options"-"Controllers" to choose an x-arcade controller.

So why do you recommend mame and not mame32?
