loading your control in noname mame

[Shieldwolf]

when I went to the mame ini file I changed the controller to (rcb) <rcb>

rcb is the name of the folder and and the file in the folder is also called rcb, but it won't load any what am i doing wrong

[MadEditor]

the folder is named correctly but not the file... The file has to be default.ini

And then you can add other files, like neogeo.ini, mouse.ini, tron.ini etc...

[ErikRuud]

It is the same for NoNameMAME as it is for MAME.

First make sure that ctrlr_directory points to the ctrlr directory.  The default is ctrlr.

Code: [Select]

### Windows path and directory options ###
rompath                 roms
samplepath              samples
# inipath               <NULL> (not set)
cfg_directory           cfg
nvram_directory         nvram
memcard_directory       memcard
input_directory         inp
hiscore_directory       hi
state_directory         sta
artwork_directory       artwork
snapshot_directory      snap
diff_directory          diff
ctrlr_directory         ctrlr
cheat_file              cheat.dat
history_file            history.dat
mameinfo_file           mameinfo.dat
Second, make sure that ctrlr under "Input Device Options" points to the correct directory under the ctrlr_directory.

Code: [Select]

### Input device options ###
mouse                   1
joystick                0
lightgun                0
steadykey               0
keyboard_leds           1
a2d_deadzone            0.300000
ctrlr                   rcb

Third, you must have a default.ini file in the rcb directory.

[Shieldwolf]

take a look in the rcb folder i have default.ini


in my nonamexp.ini

# ctrlr                rcb  

Bingo!

The # character makes that line a comment!

Change the line to read:

ctrlr                rcb

Then you should be just fine.

[Shieldwolf]

THANK YOU!


that's much better.
