Title: Model 2 1.1a only shows gamepad devices, my A-Pac is not selectable.
Post by: FSD on June 04, 2023, 04:40:25 pm

Hi,

     I've just finished my Daytona cabinet using all the standard IO linked up to an i3 PC using A-PAC and a custom Arduino for gearbox decoding and VR control.
Everything works great in Mame and Model3 emulation (albeit a little slow on an i3).

My problem is that I really want to get Model 2 working but when I try and change the controller settings my A-PAC doesn't appear as it seems like it is hardcoded for 4 Gamepad controllers. None of which seem to map to the A-PAC.

Does anyone have any ideas how this can be overcome. I cannot be the first one with this issue.

Yeah, M2emu doesn't like more than about 3 controllers. If you use Boomslangnz's FFB plugin, which you need in order to get FFB anyway IIRC, there's a tab in there that will let you map your controls to the emulator. I was having the same issue, and that fixes it :)

Thanks for the tip. I've downloaded it and had a quick look but it's getting late and my machine is not in the house so I will apply the changes tomorrow.

 :cheers:

Not sure this if is the cause of the problem but there may also be the question of the type of controller interface in the conf file. If Xinput=1, then a DINPUT wheel is not recognized.
