Troz, do you know if gpwiz49 you have has the new firmware on it? It has to have the new firmware for it to work I think. |

I think that you can use the control type from mame as a commandline arg. I know this is not as accurate as controls.ini but will do for now. Then build a .bat file that can call the gpwiz utility with the correct number. Then call this before mame is called for each game. I'm going to take a look at doing this but don't know how soon I will get to it as I have not hooked up the sticks yet. In the future it would be great if minwah can parse out the control.ini file for a more accurate version of this but I think this will be a decent stop gap for mamewah users. --- End quote --- That will work as long as you don't try any 2 way games or 4 way diagonals. You'll also have to map controls like stick, buttons only, etc to some sort or control. Usually 8 way. |

Yeah I was looking thru the list of what mame has... and I noticed what you said. For the few games that I need that are differnt I can add the rom name to what is passed and check for it and then make the correct choice accordingly. I have not tried it yet but it should work in theory. |

Ok, I wired up my device #3 and had it running. Ran the software and it crashed during the detection phase, so I plugged my #1 device back in. Once I did that the software didn't crash on me and I was able to update the joysticks. The 49-way plugged into Device #3 then responded to the software programming! Yay! I only have 1 floppy cable at the moment so I can't hook any additional joysticks up. I'll get some more tomorrow and do more testing... Randy, is it possible to find out what firmwire revision is on each of the devices? Could my Device #1 have the old firmware on it? |
