button configuration?

Pages: << < (2/3) > >>

pocketpal:

That's the way I'm doing it.  Just like the 6-button Genesis controller!   ;D

Seriously, for many games that don't use more than three buttons, having the ones that you do use the closest to your person makes more sense to me.

joshbr7257:

yes but did you read my past post: the buttons are backwards, so if i wired them like this:

  4  5  6
  1  2  3

that means that on neo geo games it would use the top buttons 4, 5, and 6. why is it like that. is everyone elses like that? the way i have it set up right now is below:

  1  2  3
  4  5  6

and its backwards on street fighter 4, 5, and 6 are the punches, and 1 2 and 3 are kicks, isnt that backwards?

Timoe:

I guess you should wire them so that they re best suited for the types of games you play.

If you play alot of street fighter then you may want to WIRE them

123
456

then REMAP the buttons for Metal Slug so that 456 are "jump" "Shoot" "Grenade" and so forth for the games you play less frequently.

I don't follow what you mean about Neo-Geo using 4 5 6, but MAME "should" be right according to controls.ini:

CheffoJeffo:

joshbr, did you take account of the fact that the panel was upside down when you wired it ?

Sounds to me like you have the rows reversed *from what you expect* (key remapping aside) -- I've done that a couple of times.

Cheers.
