Hey Guys, I know you are sick of all my threads, but this will be the last one (at least for the next 24 hours ;)) I just got my x-arcade tankstick, but I'm at work so can't try it out. My question is how this is programmed. I was reading some of the instructions for it, and it goes into how to program it etc....can I not just go into mame set the controls like I would with a regular keyboard? Someone help me out and explain how this works... Thanks! |

If you got the manual...it has in there what you have set.... There is 4 settings ( i think)...1 is the factory setting, which in the manual it is for MAME (PC) the rest is programable modes... You can dload the configuration file for MAME on the X-arcade website (under the customer support section)...throw that in the respectable file and if you go to default options ( i think)...you have a pulldown and you select "x-arcade" ( i think)...means I'm like you ...I am at work... Ive never had to use the programable modes...( but I will eventually when I set up my Mugen Games...) You CAN do what you suggested...but you would be doing more work than necessary |

I'm using the command line version of mame...so there isn't any options screens or pull downs except when I am IN a game. Is that what it means? |

copy the xarcade.cfg file into the mame\ctrlr folder..then in your mam.ini file, find the following section and make sure ctrlr is set to xarcade.. # CORE INPUT OPTIONS # ctrlr xarcade mouse 1 joystick 1 lightgun 1 multikeyboard 0 multimouse 0 steadykey 0 offscreen_reload 0 joystick_map auto joystick_deadzone 0.3 joystick_saturation 0.85 |

(since I will have the x-arcade and regular keyboard hooked up) Better yet, where can I get information regarding the settings in mame.ini? Thanks! |
