adding coins every time i FLIP!
« on: March 31, 2008, 10:31:04 pm »
Hi all,

sorry for the bonehead question.. but i cant figure it out no matter how smart i think i am :)

I've built a cabinet based on an Xarcade stick, all is well, but when i use VisualPinball, my flipper buttons default to "Add Coin" despite my changing it in Visual Pinball's settings. They  flip and work fine despite adding a coin every fliP!

Where else could this setting be hiding? It feels like PinMame still thinks my Flipper button (Keyboard Key "5" or something) is Add Coin...

thanks a ton, this group has been super helpful
Fritz

Not sure about your situation, but I had to create a cfg ctrl file for some of my games that used different buttons.  Maybe that's what you need to do?

thanks for the reply

yeah, i have messed with the cfg file in PinMame, I just cant get it to stop adding a coin everytime i hit the flipper buttons.

it feels like there are... multiple cfg files!  does that make any sense?  like i've changed it in one place, but it also needs to be mucked with in another cfg file?

bonehead question #2:

what do you use to edit the .cfg files..  the usual wordpad and Notepad dont like opening these files. Is there something i should be using to edit this filetype?

thanks!
