| I-PAC/4 4th player not working |
| (1/3) > >> |

I tried running Guantlet and only could get three players working. The 4th player coinstart is the only thing that works pertaining to the 4th player. I have it hooked up via USB on Win XP PRO AMD 1.3gig. The swith is set to the "Mame" and "USB" positions . I ran the test procedure and it seems to work fine for that. I also tried it in an N64 emulated game "Mario Party 2" via 1964.099 and same results as Gauntlet. I also have not tried to reprogram using the ALT setting. Anyone have a clue to what might be wrong? TIA |

If I remember correctly, you need to 'turn on' the third and fourth players in MAME to get them to work the first time by programming them through the TAB menu. /Steve |

I found what Steve has pointed to, you need to program up the button config in ALL of the 4 player games for player 4 in the TAB menu the first time you use them (everything except the player 4 coin as you have already found). With every game I tried players 1, 2 and 3 were already pre-set up but all the inputs for player 4 were listed as NA. Once this is done you'll be up and running in 4 player heaven (as long as you have 3 friends). |

Can't you simply remap the buttons in the "Input (general)" menu item in Mame's tab menu? That would be a lot easier than remapping it for each individual game. |
