| GPWiz49 button config |

| Nailz:
I realize this is a stupid question and I am mose surely missing something, but how the heck do I config the buttons I have attached to the encoder? The GPWiz49 software seems to only setup the joystick itself. I go into my XP control panel and look at the joystick setup, it shows all my buttons and registers the button presses but there appears to be no way to make the buttons log to a particular keystroke. Am I missing a piece of software or something even more simple? I can setup the buttons within MAME itself, but that doesn't help me with the Front End. Thanks for the assistance. Marty |

If you need the buttons to appear as keystroke presses then you have to use a program like JoytoKey or RBJoy. Can you make the frontend use gamepad inputs instead of keyboard inputs? |

Not sure, I guess I will have to look through the GameEx documention, that is what I am trying to use... |

Another question, I have had other encoders in the past, i.e. ultimarc's and hagstroms and they have key mapping utilities. Randy even has one for the the KeyWiz, which looks like a nice one, I am curious as to why there isn't one for the GPWiz49? |

The GPWiz49 is looked at like a joystick. Encoders are representing key strokes. That is the difference. With a program like joytokey, it will find the joystick(GPWiz49) and just ask you to press what key you want joy1button1 to be for example. You can set up individual files for each emulator. I had to use is a lot, because I didn't think I could remap the esc key in a lot of the emulators. To get Joytokey to start, in mamewah, it would be a preemulator command. Otherwise, you could create a .bat that would start joytokey and the particular emulator file within joytokey, then the emulator. To find out exactly what you would need to type, someone would have to help or you could try a search for it. |
