I'm running mame32 on windows 2000 server, please don't ask why on server :) Also I'm using Hagstroms KE72 which works great. I decided to try to use the macro features of the KE72, I wanted to setup one button to put in a coin, wait and then start the game for one player. I programmed the KE72 to output "A" wait a sec then "B" and I setup mame so "A" is mapped to coin1 and "B" is mapped to start player 1. When i open notepad and press the button it types A waits then B, works great, except in mame for some reason it doesn't work ?? :( thanks Rich |

That's just lazy! :) Bu seriously, could be that mame overrides the "wait a sec" bit, putting a stop to the B part. Try it without the "wait" bit. |

Thanks for the reply |

Could this be "case sensative" issue? If not, then since you are using a macro then maybe you need to use the [ENTER] syntax after each letter input like the following: [A][ENTER][ENTER] Why do you need the pause? Maybe to just let Mame get ready for the next keystroke I guess ...? PS: I use the KE72 macro functionality to allow me to press one button on my cabinet which executes a different KE72 config file (ie: atari2600.cfg) to remap all of my buttons for use with a different emulator. I actually have a few emulators which I can remap my buttons/joysticks to at a push of a button. I do this so I can keep the default key mappings of the various emulators I have instead of being forced to change their default key mappings to map my current Mame key mappings. |

I tried both upper and lower case, it didn't make a difference. As far the [Enter] I'll try it, but it shouldn't need it. I saw another post about a month ago having the same problem but no one replied.
