Help: Hydrogen Controller
(1/3) > >>
D_Harris:
I have a Hydrogen controller and a control panel that has a joystick and eight buttons.

I intend to solder wires from the control panel to the Hydrogen controller as illustrated below.(Now I’m stuck).

Since I’m a MAME newbie who would like to get around to recording and viewing INPs, can anyone advise at what points on the Hydrogen controller I should connect the three remaining buttons?

I’ll not be playing any games that require a trackball/spinner, or more than three buttons during game play(with this particular control panel).

Thanks a lot.

I actually do mine starting on the top row, but I always use a layout with the stick on the left.

No matter what you make them, you can remap them in MAME to suit you. There are options within MAME to set buttons globally or per game, MAME doesn't really care what button number they are.

Thanks.

Then I guess I'm just worried about it too much.

I will however have to turn the control panel 180 degrees to play some games, because I am right handed, so the button mapping feature will come in handy. I'll of course have to remap the joystick inputs when I do this.

Thanks.

A good reason to become ambi-dextrous. I have for several games.

Ok, I spent the weekend trying to set up this control panel with MAME and don't now what to do next.

All switches(4 for joystick, 6 player buttons, Coin, and start) along with ground on the player one side were connected by soldering wires from them to the Hydrogen controller.

Are there any more locations on the Hydrogen PCB that have to be connected to something?

I'm not sure if I need MB1 & MB 2.

Can someone tell me how to get MAME to find it?

I can't figure out the next step.

Thanks.
