Hello:
I'm trying to set up Mamehooker on Windows 10 and Mame v0.220.
I have read the tutorial over and over again and I can't get it to detect Mame's startup.
I am trying to configure it with the game Outrunners, as in the tutorial by (trying) generating a file like the one below:
[General]
MameStart=
MameStop=
StateChange=
OnRotate=
OnPause=
[Output]
ma_steering_wheel_lamp=ffe 1 stop|ffe 1 offroad3
[KeyStates]
RefreshTime=
What name should the file have?
Is it necessary to configure something in Mame ( apart from starting it in window mode)?
By the way, I have Thrustmaster TMX Force Feedback.
Thank you very much for your support.

You must activate outputs in mame by setting the variable "outputs" to "windows" (it is set to "auto" by default).
Then I would start by testing your peripheral with mamehooker "test" submenu. Thsre's no need for a running game for this test, so you avoid a possible source of issues.
To answer to your first question: when mamehooker "hooks" the running game a file called "romname.ini" will be autogenerated in mamehooker's "ini" folder.
Follow word-by-word Howard instructions, starting from the first tutorial to the last ;)

Thank you very much!!!
I had even read the official documentation but it doesn't say anything about the windows option.
In the documentation only the following options appear, as you can read here:
https://docs.mamedev.org/commandline/commandline-all.html
======================================================
OSD Output Options
-output
Chooses how MAME will handle processing of output notifiers.
You can choose from: auto, none, console or network
Note that network port is fixed at 8000.

Thank you very much!
It was driving me crazy!!!

Not only for LCD lights. Force Feedback (or rumble) also support.
