quick mame ini control question

[Shieldwolf]

How do you type the keycode for this command?


P1_JOYSTICKRIGHT_UP  

I want the up and right arrow on my keyboard for that command

How does it need to be written exactly so it will work?

I'm assuming here that you have ctrlr.ini files set up and working, and that you want the P1_JOYSTICKRIGHT_UP (up right joystick on a 2 joystick game like Robotron or assault) command mapped to "the up and right arrow keys"

Line should read

P1_JOYSTICKRIGHT_UP "KEYCODE_UP KEYCODE RIGHT"

This gets placed in either the default.ini or gamename.ini file in you ctrlr files directory.

The information above is correct.

However...

You probably do not want to do that for Robotron. If you do, you will have to move the right stick to a diagonal (up and right) to go UP.

P1_JOYSTICKRIGHT_UP is the retting for UP on the righthand stick.  It is NOT the setting for the Right Up diagonal direction.

Robotron should be setup like this:

Code: [Select]

P1_JOYSTICKLEFT_UP          "KEYCODE_UP"
P1_JOYSTICKLEFT_DOWN        "KEYCODE_DOWN"
P1_JOYSTICKLEFT_LEFT        "KEYCODE_LEFT"
P1_JOYSTICKLEFT_RIGHT       "KEYCODE_RIGHT"


P1_JOYSTICKRIGHT_UP          "KEYCODE_R"
P1_JOYSTICKRIGHT_DOWN        "KEYCODE_F"
P1_JOYSTICKRIGHT_LEFT        "KEYCODE_D"
P1_JOYSTICKRIGHT_RIGHT       "KEYCODE_G"

This setup works for Robotron, Crazy Climber, Black Widow, Battle Zone and other 1 player dual joystick games.

do right_up is not diagnol right  but rather up on the right control?

[ErikRuud]

Exactly!

right_up is up on the right control.

left_up is up on the left control.
