Help with Johnny5 and a SlikStik Classic controller
Q*bert:
I've searched for an answer, but haven'y been able to find one.
I have a SlikStik controller and am trying to set up Johnny5.
Everything works great (thanks Howard!) except the key mappings don't seem to be picked up from my sliktik.cfg file.
Everything seems to be coming from the std.ini file.
I set the ctrlr option in Johnny5 "Viewer Options" to "slikstik", "slikstik.cfg", or "c:\mame\ctrlr\slikstik.cfg" but none of these makes a difference.
Any ideas on how to get my slikstik.cfg picked up?
Howard_Casto:
Well is slickstick also the ctrlr you have define in your mame.ini? J5 oly goes by that manual setting if it can't find a mame.ini. Also understand that the default layout for j5 probably does not reflect the keys used for a slikstick controller, you'll have to either modify it or create a new one.
Q*bert:
Apparently J5 doesn't like the fact that I have my roms stored in a directory other than roms under the mame directory.
I'll keep working on it...
Howard_Casto:
Ok I tried my own setup with the slikstik ctrlr file and it did just fine, so it isn't an issue with the file.
In your mame.ini you should have these settings set in this way:
ctrlr_directory ctrlr
ctrlr slikstik
Your roms directory has nothing to do with j5, although if your ini file is corrupted (in other words you used improper syntax in some way) then it could have trouble reading the ini file in general. I don't see how, but hey, it could happen.
Q*bert:
Sorry if I am somehow being a dufus, but with ctrlr_directory and ctrlr set as above, mame works properly, but J5 shows an error message of "Run-time error '52': Bad file name or number".
I also tried a fully qualified path... Mame still works fine but J5 errors the same.
I have gotten everything to work by replacing the contents of std.ini with info from a pre-0.83 mame slikstik.cfg.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
