Hi guys. I have the newest MAME 32 version 104. I want to know how I can organize my games by catagories. I heard of CATVER, but I didn't understand on how to use it. I am also having problems with getting the fourth player on my control to work. I used A keyboard testing program on it and the buttons along with the joystick are operational. I am using the IPAC 4 card from Ultimarc. I have 6 buttons for each player installed on the control panel. The card supports 8 buttons per player. Thanks for any help that you can provide, Curt.
Hey Curt... welcome to the boards. I see this is your first post. What you may want to do is create 2 different questions addressing both your issues.
Furthermore - you'll learn that although the community can be very helpful - it is necessary for you to do as much reading as possible beforehand.
Here is a link to spystyle. About 3/4 of the way down he discusses sorting games using sortinfo and catver. It will require you to do some reading, but he lays it out in a very logical manner. I believe if you were to google catver you would've found the article also
http://spystyle.arcadecontrols.com/index11.htmAs for your other issue - I don't think I can be of much help. You need to provide more information - for example, is mame setup properly to accept inputs from the 4th player? What kind of hardware are you using? I'm sure others will have more questions.
Good luck.
