Title: Mamehooker : Output is 80 instead of 1
Post by: Iro on October 29, 2019, 04:03:36 pm

Hello,
I'm using Mamehooker 5.1 and Mame 0.213
In some games , the output for ON is not 1 but 80.
So when it's 0/1 , %s% work, but not with 0/80.
How can I resolve this problem ?

Thank you :)

Thank you :)

The best that I can tell the mole outputs on that game are controlling the motors for the moles and NOT lights.  This is why it comes up as 80.  1 does not always equate to "on" in every situation.  You can use the buffer math operations to see if the value is greater than 1 and the resulting value placed in the buffer will be 0 if false and 1 if true.  Then you run your light function with The buffer state instead of the regular state.

OK thanks
So I tried the buffer math opération but i don't understand how it works  :-[
Where I put the command bmo %s% > 1 1  (put the result of state value greater than one in buffer 1) ?

I tried

Code: [Select]

[General]
MameStart=bmo %s% > 1 1
...
[Output]
molea_0=uls 1 34 sbf 1Mamehoker crashed

Code: [Select]

[General]
MameStart=
...
[Output]
molea_0=uls 1 34 %s%|uls 1 34 bmo %s% > 1 1
or
molea_0=uls 1 34 0|uls 1 34 bmo %s% > 1 1
or
molea_0=uls 1 34 %s%|uls 1 34 %s% -79
or
molea_0=uls 1 34 bmo %s% > 1
Nothings worked :(

Thank you :)

That's not how it works.  The bmo function has to be called.... then you put a comma, and then you do the function you were wanting to call only use %b#%, where "#" equals the buffer you stored it in, instead of "%s%"

I teach people to fish, I don't hand them out.  I'll try to write a tutorial this weekend if I get time.

Hello so I tried
molea_0=bmo %s% > 1 1,uls 1 2 %b1%
It works for one but not for all and I had weird behavior.
And if I understand, i should set one different buffer for each output ? If yes, it will miss buffers.
Anyway, I took the problem the other way : I compiled a specific mame to output 1 instead of 80  :lol :lol
And it works now.
But I you have time, I think a tutorial for the  bmo will be helpful.

Thank you  :cheers:

It should be

molea_0=bmo %s% > 0, uls 1 2 %b1% 

but other than that it's fine.  It might be pulling the buffer state from the previous read though.... I need to get a new version out as the last public build is horribly outdated.  I'll run a couple of tests this weekend.
