Setting controsl in MAME. Left Ctrl vs LeftCtrl Right Ctrl?
(1/6) > >>
kelemvor:
WHen I go into the Mame settings window to change controls and I press my Left Ctrl button for a key, Mame always sets it to Left Ctrl AND Right Ctrl.  How can I get it to ONLY set it to Left Ctrl like the keys are by default?

It seems when I set it and it says both Left and Right then it makes them not actually work.

Thanks.

Do not pause MAME while mapping keys.
kelemvor:
Really?  Is that what's causing the problem?  Never thought to try changing the keys without pausing the game since I normally notice something isn't right once I've started playing.

I'll give that a try.

That's definitely the problem.  I recently replaced my control panel and needed to go through all the fighter games and update the controls.  Found that whenever I had MAME paused, hitting either CTRL or SHIFT keys would cause the LEFT and RIGHT thing to happen.

Ugh.  I spent about 2 hours one night last week trying to get mame to quit mapping both the left and right control.  I thought it was my KeyWiz.  I rebotted about 5 times and then it randomly seemed to work (when I configured the controls for about the 30th time).  I guess I didn't pause mame that time. 

This will definitely save some time and stress the next time my 4-yr old starts randomly pushing buttons and manages to change the default inputs.
