You should be able to use a .cfg file supplied with MAME for reference (for example hotrodse.cfg) - I think they are about to stop destributing these with MAME tho. For the most part, you should use '<system name="default">'...but you can change 'default' for a driver or romname for more specific mappings. --- Quote ---i have my mame.ini configed properly i think. the ctrlr_directory is set to ctrlr and the other ctrlr thing is set to "mame". --- End quote --- Good, that's right. --- End quote --- okay, i'm at work right now, but i'll try when i get home. thanks for the help though...i'll update and let you know tonight. |

okay i did everything you said, but now my games wont start. this happened before....and only happens when i change the ctrlr value in the mame.ini to "mame". i try to start a game in mamewah and the screen goes black for like 2 seconds, and then comes back to mamewah. its like its trying to load it, but then gets caught up or something. just in case i put the mame.cfg file in the wrong place, i put it both in the ...\mame\ctrlr\mame folder AND in the ...\mame\ctrlr folder. what else am i needing? |

Are you sure you're not confusing MAME's ctrlr files and MAMEWAH's ctrlr files? They're two separate entities and belong in two separate places. -Steve. |

Clear out your cfg folder. I had an issue where it would have an error parsing (not sure why but it went away when I switched to gameex, nothin against mamewah but i liked a couple of the gameex skins). And yes you should get the black screen or at least it did for me. |
