Hey Urebel.

I'm getting there. Really.

You said:

In Analog+, make sure multiplemice and switchablemice are set to 1 in the ini file.

Rhetro:

EUREKA!!! (kind of)

3 out of 4 spinners working!!!!!

one of my tornados went south  >:(

So I think the problems is solved!!! Finally.

One point though.

I got warlords working without a clearmamepro scan of the rom file. I couldn't created a dat file on analog+XP v 81 either. it wouldn't let me. I know I know. If it ain't broke.... But why couldn't clearmame do this (I guess this is a clearmame question)

I guess you have to create a folder in the roms directory and unzip the rom file per game as I have read. In otherwords (roms>warlords>warlords bin files after extraction.

So Mame cannot read it zipped. Correct?

thanks in advance

u_rebelscum:

Cmpro has a "old_mame" setting for mame's older than 0.84-0.85.  When you create a dat file in the profiles, change the emulator from "mame" to "old_mame".

You don't need to unzip the bin files.  Mame treats a zipped file like a folder.  So you can due like you said, or leave it: roms>warlords.zip>warlords bin files still in the zip file.  IIRC, the zipped file is read first, and the folder is only read if no zip file.

Rhetro:

Thanks Urebel

Got the zip file thing sorted out. For some reason it didn't seem to work the first time (I probably messed something up).

I tried the old_mame selection for creating the datfile. It created it ok, but clearmame did not let me load the datfile.

I got a:

Database update is needed. It's necessary to run:
C:\Mame\mameanalogXP.exe -listinfo

if you experience problems...blah blah blah

after aborting at Puckman, it went to :

found an incomplete datfile. Or bad exe output...blah blah blah

Then it said:

can't receive data. Make sure it's a valid one (or something to that effect.

I'll paste all of this and see if Roman can figure it out.

unless you've been down this road before!

Thanks.
