Title: Default MAME Keys
Post by: Slope on March 12, 2006, 11:38:07 pm

I'm setting my console emulators right now and I small laptop hard drive I had for my mini-itx motherboard.  Anyway, it doesn't have enough room on it to install mame, so I'm waiting until my new HD arrives.  In the meantime, I'm setting up my other emulators and .cfg files for "joytokey".  I'd like everything to use the mame defaults where possible.  Problem is, I can't find a text file that show me what those defaults are.  If someone has them, can they please PM or email me the file?

Thanks again for your help.  You guys have helped me a LOT already.

Ermmmn, sortof . . .

The file above is the default keycodes for the I-PAC/4.

The MAME defaults are listed in your C:\mame\cfg\default.cfg file

Note that 10 buttons are defined for Player 1, 4 buttons are defined for Player 2, No joystick directions are defined for Player 3, and no inputs are defined for Player 4.

This was as of MAME 0.97.  It looks like the latest distribution drops this altogether, so you have to create all your key mappings.

That said, most people use the I-PAC defaults anyway, just be aware:

P2 Buttons 5-8 and P3 directionals overlap.

4 Left and 1SW8 Overlap.
