If you didn't put in a ctrlr file entry in the viewer options, then that may be your problem. I don't think there is an official forum per se, but you could probably post something on fe.donkeyfly.com if you can't figure it out yourself. --- End quote --- I checked in there and just put in xarcade since that's one that's in my ctrlr folder. I opened up that file and saw stuff like KEYCODE_LCONTROL and that's the same thing on the label when I open the default layout in Johnny5. No idea why it's not working. *sigh* |

Mame ran fine but J5 had the exact problem you're describing. I copied mame.ini to mame64.ini and my labels appeared. J5 seems to require that your exe and ini file have the same name. --- End quote --- Nope. I'm just using Mame103 (mame.exe) and Mamewah as the FE. The only mame.ini file I have is inside the Mamewah/INI folder. Is there supposed to be one in the main Mame folder too? Maybe I'm missing a file somehow. |

Create a mame.ini file and give it a shot. type mame -createconfig and it'll make the mame.ini file for you. I'm a long way from a J5 expert, but I did get it working. The .ini file was the hangup for me. |

Are there any settings in there I need to point anywhere special? hmm. |

Have you defined a ctrlr.cfg file that has all of the keys on your control panel defined? You must do this since the later versions of mame do not create a default .cfg. I have a sample for the ipac2/minipac on this thread: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=49115.0 Also, once you create your .cfg file don't forget to update your mame.ini file to use it! Good luck, Sharkus |
