Hi Guys, I'm having an arcade jam to celebrate the semi-completion of my new MAME machine. Last night i stayed up until 3:30am perplexed why my P1 joystick and P2 buttons 5 and 6 are not working in MAME. I'm using a Hotrod controller that I debodied. I mapped the ctrlr to hotrod; but still not working. Here is my mame.ini ### mame.ini ### ### Frontend Related ### ### Windows path and directory options ### rompath roms samplepath samples # inipath <NULL> (not set) cfg_directory cfg nvram_directory nvram memcard_directory memcard input_directory inp hiscore_directory hi state_directory sta artwork_directory artwork snapshot_directory snap diff_directory diff ctrlr_directory ctrlr cheat_file cheat.dat ### Windows video options ### autoframeskip 1 frameskip 0 waitvsync 0 triplebuffer 1 window 0 ddraw 1 direct3d 0 hwstretch 1 # screen <NULL> (not set) cleanstretch auto resolution auto refresh 0 scanlines 0 switchres 0 switchbpp 1 maximize 1 keepaspect 1 matchrefresh 0 syncrefresh 0 throttle 1 full_screen_brightness 0.000000 frames_to_run 0 effect none screen_aspect 4:3 ### Windows Direct3D 2D video options ### zoom 2 d3dtexmanage 1 d3dfilter 1 d3dfeedback 0 d3dscan 100 d3deffectrotate 1 d3dprescale auto d3deffect none # d3dcustom <NULL> (not set) # d3dexpert <NULL> (not set) ### Windows misc options ### sleep 1 rdtsc 0 high_priority 0 ### Windows sound options ### audio_latency 1 # wavwrite <NULL> (not set) ### Input device options ### mouse 1 joystick 0 lightgun 0 dual_lightgun 0 offscreen_reload 0 steadykey 0 keyboard_leds 1 led_mode ps/2 a2d_deadzone 0.300000 # ctrlr hotrod paddle_device keyboard adstick_device keyboard pedal_device keyboard dial_device keyboard trackball_device keyboard lightgun_device keyboard digital none ### Mame CORE video options ### norotate 0 ror 0 rol 0 autoror 0 autorol 0 flipx 0 flipy 0 gamma 1.000000 brightness 1.000000 pause_brightness 0.650000 ### Mame CORE vector game options ### antialias 1 translucency 1 beam 1.000000 flicker 0.000000 intensity 1.500000 ### Mame CORE sound options ### samplerate 44100 samples 1 sound 1 volume 0 ### Mame CORE misc options ### artwork 0 use_backdrops 0 use_overlays 1 use_bezels 1 artwork_crop 0 artwork_resolution 0 cheat 0 debug 0 # debugscript <NULL> (not set) # playback <NULL> (not set) # record <NULL> (not set) log 0 oslog 0 skip_gameinfo 1 bios default # state <NULL> (not set) autosave 0 ### Configuration options ### readconfig 1 verbose 0 It's not reading the hotrod.cfg control settings for some reason. As it is now, my p1 controls are: up = KEYCODE_8_PAD down = KEYCODE_2_PAD left = KEYCODE_4_PAD right = KEYCODE_6_PAD but the only thing working in MAME are the up/down/left/right arrow keys on the keyboard. The hotrod.cfg is correct. It seems like it's not being read for some reason. Can anyone help me out? I'd be bummed if i had to cancel festivites tonight, because the damn controls almost work. HELP! |

Well.. it could be that your ctrlr entry is commented out in your mame.ini. ;) Also in the current u builds (and I'm assuming from now on) ctrlr_directory has been changed to ctrlrpath. |

Wow, I'm a dumbass. Howard, thanks for your time. I'm sure this is what's wrong. Just goes to show, I was looking for something major and ended up being blind to the small apparent stuff. Thanks. |

hmm... i don't see the point to that one, just confuses matters. Good thing j5 now checks for both for backwards compatability reasons. |
