Title: ledblinky and u360 force a particular map (non mame)?
Post by: ivwshane on September 13, 2009, 08:29:03 pm

I have ledblinky control my u360 maps automatically for mame but for my non mame games (like SFIV) how would I specify what map to use?

using the controls editor, edit the control group for that emulator, then add 8-way joystick (or whatevery type you want) to the common controls tab and set it as the "Primary Control". The primary control is used to set the u360 map.

Sweet that worked!

I wanted to look into some games in mame to see what sort of joy stick profile they were set to but I can't seem to find where to look. I thought it was in the controls.ini file but I can't find that file any where.

Is it safe to assume that if maws shows a game with a certain profile (mk shows 8 way for instance) then that is the profile used by ledblinky?

Blinky uses the controls.ini - it's the "P1Controls" tag. If the game is not in controls.ini then it uses mame.xml. But anything you add using the controls editor overrides those two files.

Yeah it looks like it was using the mame xml file.

Thanks again!
