--- Quote from: Peab0dy on May 08, 2009, 12:17:38 pm ---456 1234 My reasoning is that 2/3rds of the games I play are Neo Geo or SF2-style. The remaining tend to be older 1 or 2 button games. I want those games to use the buttons nearest to the controller (1 and 2 above), and I don't want to reach over other buttons to hit them.... Problem is that I believe this will flip the SF2 punch/kick rows.... I certainly don't want to reprogram each SF2 style game in MAME. I don't understand the CTRLR files that well but it seems to me they go by driver name. If that's the case I don't think they'll work for me in this case as I don't want all my CPS1/2 games to use the new SF2 config because then games like 1944 would require reaching over the bottom row. --- End quote --- My POV/IMO: I like the 123(4) on the bottom row. for the same not reaching over reason, Be sure to do a mockup, and test that the 1-4 buttons aren't placed too low though, If you use this layout, you will need to flip the SF2/MK maps in mame; this can be done with the ctrlr file (my person choice), CFGMagician, or scripts to reprogram your controller (if it can be reprogramed). Quick review on using ctrlr file: - Get list of games you want with the "SF2 6 button layout". -- (optional) Remove all clones with the same maps as their parents (basically all clones). - Remap any one of these games in mame's "Input(general)" to your layout. - Copy cfg/default.cfg to the ctrlr folder. - Open in text editor and copy from "<system name=" to "</system> - Change name="default" to name="gamename" - Paste and change name - Repeat last step for all games in your list. (This can be batched/scripted.) CFGMagician does have a few less steps, but you still have to get the list and setup the remap. If you have any questions on ctrlr files, post it here and I'll see if I can help. |

Outstanding feedback guys! I really appreciate it! :cheers: Thanks for explaining the ctrlr files for me. I was thinking it was limited to one config for everything using a specific driver like cps2.c but now I see that's not the case. I hadn't seen CFGMagician before but that looks like a great utility and one I'll certainly try out. My encoder is an old ipac. I don't know anything about changing configs with software on it so I'm thinking using a MAME files-based solution would be simplest for me. I forgot how handy this board is for figuring things out quickly! Any of you guys know about basement foundation issues... ;D |
