Help with configuring mame buttons..

(1/3) > >>

shateredsoul:
I was wondering if someone already had set up a hybrid controller.cfg? If so how did you go about doing this?

I'm using left click and right click as the buttons for my 4 way joystick (so I can also use them with the trackball as a mouse)

but i'm having issues wrapping my head around the idea of how to program the buttons for the hybrid layout

so for capcom it would be

123
456  with 1 being left click and 2 being right click

and for neo geo it would be

1234 (again 1 being left click and 2 being right click)

and here is the layout (except it curves)

  OOO
  OOO
O

any ideas of how I could go about setting this up? I'm new to this, so I would appreciate help on how to reconfigure the controller layouts. Even a link.  (do I have to configure every single neo geo game seperately? or can I do one change that would affect all neo geo games? and how could i change so all games see button 1 and 2 as left click and right click

man i'm confused

As I try to configure the cfg I noticed that

midtunit.c, midyunit.c, were configured.. what systems do these controls belong to? I can figure out cps1,2,3 and neogoe.. but no idea what these mean

romshark:
I'm sure there is a way for MAME to automatically map the buttons, but I never figured it out. I just map each game myself.

midtunit.c is the Midway T-unit system, with such games as NBA Jam and some versions of Mortal Kombat.

midyunit.c is the Williams/Midway Y/Z-unit system, running Narc, Smash TV, Terminator 2, and more.


A whole list of "systems" in MAME can be found here. Interesting to see the documented stuff on each system.

Ahh i see.. well my button layout is nothing like the mortal kombat one, so maybe i'll leave that to match the default. Or what do you guys think about that?

I set both middle buttons of the SF portion as the middle button for MK games.
