MaLa Orientation question
loadman:
Thanks for your help. The problem with having MaLa detect joysticks is that the joysticks on the different sides of the box will be wired into the same holes on the iPac, so Mala won't know which side the input is coming from.[/quote] Bugger, Have you considered wiring it separately??? Mame can easily be set handle multiple keys......then you can have diffrent controller sets in Mala. (see pic attached)

No.. it will alter mame to rotate to whatever the MaLa is oriented to...See Posts above

I don't know how to wire them separately, I'm using an IPAC2 and it only has the one set of places to wire in a joystick for each player.
Another dumb question then: Can the gamelist editer make lists based on orientation, or do I need to manually do that?

I have a cocktail cab with two joysticks on one side and one of the other. As I have done you can allocate the spare ports on the I-Pac to another joystick or buttons.. Very easy too :-)

The gamelist editor can do that for you :-)

I don't have enough spare ports to do that :(
Also, wouldn't you have to reconfigure the MAME controls for ever individual game . . . ?
What I ended up doing was making the 2nd player controls scroll through horizontal games, and the first player controls scroll through vertical. That works well enough I guess lol.

Spare PORTS on the I-Pac Not PARTS :-) (for buttons you have not used eg I only have three buttons per player and the I-Pac supports 8. That leaves many PORTS avaliable for use on another Joystick. The IPAC can be configured any way you like.

NO. You can do a global change easily... :-)
