| Wiring my control panel |
| (1/1) |
| numbnutz48:
I am wiring my control panel as we speak. I have my joysticks wired. 1- 4 way, 2- 8 way. I have a jump and a fire button for the single player 4- way wired up already. The 8- way sticks each have a 6 button setup : 1 2 3 4 5 6 I have an IPAC4 encoder, running only 2 player CP. For typical mame configuration, how should these 6 buttons be wired? |

Pretty much any way you want. You can always remap them in WinIPAC later if they don't work out. No need for rewiring anything. For me, I used a 7 button layout wired like so b5 b6 b7 b1 b2 --BINGO! Either that, or I was attempting to say "before" but it was too many letters to type-- b3 But that's because I wanted the most oft used buttons on the bottom row. |

It doesn't really matter how the buttons are wired, as long as the buttons are wired as seperate inputs: just remap in mame. Most people wire like thus: b1 b2 b3 --BINGO! Either that, or I was attempting to say "before" but it was too many letters to type-- b5 b6 I prefer: --BINGO! Either that, or I was attempting to say "before" but it was too many letters to type-- b5 b6 b1 b2 b3 because I too like the most used buttons on the bottom. The nice thing about mame is you can remap on a game to game bases (and at several grouping levels if you use a ctrlr file). So with remapping, you could do this ('mb' = mame button): 1-3 button games: mb1 mb2 mb3 mb1 mb2 mb3 6 button games: mb1 mb2 mb3 mb4 mb5 mb6 and MK 5 button games: mb1 mb2 mb3 mb4 mb2 mb5 Note that for player 2, you're going to have to remap buttons 5 & 6, as mame has no keys mapped for defaults for these buttons. |
