Launching a game in Mame32 using the player 1 start button?
« on: November 19, 2010, 04:49:17 am »
I'm currently trying to set up mame32 (.139) so that I can press the 1 player start button (JPAC to JAMMA set up) to launch the game.  Before Ive always just pressed the enter key on the keyboard to launch the game but Id want to get away from the keyboard all together.  Any ideas??

You should be able to use the shift functionality on the jpac to press enter. You hold P1 start + press another button to use it's shift function by default IIRC.

You can always program it how you like too if needs be :)

And solved thanks! I ended up reprogramming the JPac like you suggested, works great now!
