Mamewah + Ctrlr problem
« on: August 08, 2005, 08:02:33 am »
Just got done setting up mamewah (GREAT program by that way) but have run in to a problem  :(

To try and make things as user friendly as possible I thought it would be handy to use the neo geo layout of A B C D to make menu choices: Play, Emulator, Catergory and Find respectively. I went about making my own default ctrlr file.

I wanted to take it one step further and have the A and B buttons provide the functions of SELECT and BACK in the Options menu as you can see from attached graphic.

This is where things aren't working out. A is fine, it allows me to select the item etc. It's the B that I just can't seem to get working. The problem really shows itself when using Find and not being able to delete an error.

Here's a snippet of my ctrlr file. Maybe someone can make sense of this.

### INPUT MAPPINGS ###
# main form
..... joystick stuff...   

FIND_GAME         "DIK_LSHIFT"
RANDOM_GAME         
SELECT_EMULATOR         "DIK_LALT"
NEXT_EMULATOR         
PREVIOUS_EMULATOR      
SELECT_GAMELIST         "DIK_SPACE"
NEXT_GAMELIST         
PREVIOUS_GAMELIST      
ADD_GAME_TO_LIST      
REMOVE_GAME_FROM_LIST      
MENU_SHOW         
MENU_LOCK         
LAUNCH_GAME         "DIK_LCONTROL"
....
...exit stuff...   

# options form
..... joystick stuff...      
OP_MENU_SELECT         "DIK_LCONTROL"
OP_MENU_BACK         "DIK_LALT"
OP_MENU_HIDE         


In my file I have the key set to show an emulator in the #main form and give menu back in the #options form

If you look at the original default.ini:

### INPUT MAPPINGS ###

# main form
..... joystick stuff...

FIND_GAME         "DIK_TAB"
RANDOM_GAME         "DIK_LSHIFT"
SELECT_EMULATOR         "DIK_Z"
NEXT_EMULATOR         "DIK_4"
PREVIOUS_EMULATOR      "DIK_6"
SELECT_GAMELIST         "DIK_X"
NEXT_GAMELIST         "DIK_3"
PREVIOUS_GAMELIST      "DIK_5"
ADD_GAME_TO_LIST      "DIK_A"
REMOVE_GAME_FROM_LIST      "DIK_S"
MENU_SHOW         "DIK_2"
MENU_LOCK         "DIK_LALT & DIK_2"
LAUNCH_GAME         "DIK_1"
....      
...exit stuff...   

# options form
..... joystick stuff...      
OP_MENU_SELECT         "DIK_1"
OP_MENU_BACK         "DIK_2"
OP_MENU_HIDE      


You can see that DIK_2 is used in two instances. One in the #main form to show the menu and again in the #options form to give you menu back. Have I missed something? I really would like to have this setup if possible.

Thanks.
