Hi,

How do I get the X-Arcade default controller settings to work in commandline MAME?

I am running MAME.79 through MAMEWAH.

Make the following settings to your MAME.ini file (if you don't have one, run MAME -cc from the commandline

### Windows path and directory options ###
ctrlr_directory         ctrlr

or C:\MAME\ctrlr

### Input device options ###
ctrlr                   XArcade

The default ctrlr.ini files come with MAME

Hi Tiger,

thanks for the response.  I don't see a mame.ini file and I've only launched MAME through the Mamewah frontend.

How do I launch Mame -cc?  And do I create the mame.ini in there?

Thanks.

Might depend on your OS, but typically you run Start-Programs-Accessories-(MS-DOS Prompt or Command Prompt).

From here -

Type "cd\" <enter>
Prompt should show C:

Type "cd MAME" <enter>
Prompt should show C:\MAME

Type "MAME -cc" <enter>
Prompt should show C:\MAME

mame.ini will automagically appear in the C:\MAME folder and you can edit it with Notepad

Hey Tiger,

Thanks for the help.  I got the MAME.INI file to show up.

Do I have to mess with the "# inipath" option or just the two things you mentioned above?

Also, once set up, this MAME.INI file with always set MAME up to run with the XArcade defaults right?  Even when accessing through my front end?

Thanks Again.
