| Loading a ctrl.cfg file in mame |
| (1/2) > >> |
| dkubarek:
I'm using a command line version of mame .105 and see an x-arcade.cfg file in the ctlr folder. I want mame to default to that configuration at startup and also make a few changes to it. Basically, I want all of the game play options and want to alter a few of the admin functions. 1) How do I tell mame to reference that file instead of the default. and 2) Do I just hit tab and make changes after that? Thanks. |

Read the Wiki for great Ctrlr instructions: http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Ctrlr_file |

thanks. I tried the wiki and must have missed it. I ended up just pasting x-arcade's config from their file right to my default and only had to change a few things. It tested OK and didn't work in the game, but I think I set up game configs that are overriding my settings. I hope so, because I have no idea what to try if that's not it. |

after reading a bit I'm thinking a ctrl file isn't what I want because I need to make a few changes to it. I'd be better off with just remapping in the program, right? |

If your few changes are going to be used in every game then use the ctrlr file. Make a back up of x-arcade.cfg just in case you need to go back to it. Then make all the changes you need to make. --- Quote from: dkubarek on January 03, 2009, 06:41:46 pm ---It tested OK and didn't work in the game, but I think I set up game configs that are overriding my settings. --- End quote --- Did you move your default.cfg that you copied from x-arcade from the cfg folder into the crtrlr folder and did you point to the default.cfg file in mame.ini? |
