GaryMcT's 2-player generic control panel layout

Pages: << < (60/70) > >>

GaryMcT:

I'm going to stick with modding Mame since I'm pretty far along with it, and it would be helpful to others.

It's actually interesting to see if I can fit all the shifted functions that I need just on the 4 buttons at the top (would be 5, but I don't want to use "exit" as a shifted button! :) )

how's that?

bkenobi:

I'm assuming you were suggesting Gary use 2 controls connected to a single button so that when the button is pressed, both controls are actuated.  I use this to get extra buttons on my GP-WizRX.  I need 28 buttons and with the RX, I lose 6 for the rotary controls.  So, to get them back, I have a couple admin buttons set to P2Up+P2Down and P2Left+P2Right.  Works fine!

To make that work, I have both inputs wired to one side of the switch and the ground on the other.  I put diodes on the 2 inputs so they don't screw with each.  There's a guide on GGG (among other places) on how to make shifted inputs work on the GP-Wiz.

here's the GGG guide:

ahhh, I see what your saying

I was talking about something different

using the ipac (keystrokes) for Mame and the U360 (gamepad) for PC games (SFIV). Same buttons on the CP, but different inputs into the computer.

Gary, it would be way cleaner to do it through software and it would be great for the community :cheers:

GaryMcT:

I don't like how a shifted fast-forward button on an ipac is a momentary event, even ifyoulook joldit down. Or do the newer ones act differently?
