--- Quote from: genesim on May 08, 2009, 12:53:31 pm ---I certaintly wasn't trying to discourage anyone. I was speaking from simply the defaults on an ecoder, not editing text files. From my experience I do find it a pain because I like it hardware encoded and not a text pointer. But thanks for the links anyway. --- End quote --- I understand your point, but I'm not concerned about what you like relative to what the OP needs or wants to happen. IMHO, using config files or CFG Magician may be the easiest/best route for him to take. Peab0dy, since you researched ctrlr files, it sounds like you've put some time and effort in to getting this the way you want it. Look at the CFG Magician and what it can do to see if it will help. If all else fails, maybe u_rebelscum will be here to point you in the right direction. |

--- Quote from: genesim on May 08, 2009, 12:56:42 pm ---Wow even in looking at your link: --- Quote ---However, its relative steep learning curve, limitations, format changes, and overlapping features with mame's standard input mapping method seem to have curbed the use of the ctrlr files. --- End quote --- And there in lies the rub. Yup...easy as pie. ::) ::) ::) Time consuming is actually what I was getting at more then not being able to do it. --- End quote --- Then dont use it. Or, better yet, look at the second link...the one where I start the sentence with "Or, better yet,...." Just because someone isn't comfortable with one aspect doesn't mean it shouldn't be presented, along with other options, to someone else. You never know what THEIR comfort level is. |

Never said it shouldn't be. But the "don't let others discourage you" or "don't know better" snide crap is what this board can do without. Be respectful and I won't say a word. I never once stated that text editing wasn't an option. Getting default keys the way you want first is a good step in the right direction. No? Thought so. When I said never found a good solution to this, I meant as far as hard coded goes and how to put the buttons PHYSICALLY to where it comforms. You apparently missed this angle in your reprimand to me. |

I'm merely trying to show him how to set it up so that Mame changes the defaults based on what he needs. |

I do appreciate it. And again thank you for the links, because though I knew about them, pointing them out makes me want to take another stab at it. But using as many defaults...like button one through six saves at least complete editing. My wet dream is to have MAME have defaults for Neo Geo. I think it is complete exception to the rule don't you think? |
