Any way to fix the constantly changing controller IDs in MAME?

<< < (3/3)

blueznl:
In some cases Windows may treat different ports with different priorities. If you have multiple USB ports on your machine that may be a way to fix it (by spreading devices). Another nasty (but very well working :-)) way around this is 'delayed switch on', ie. switch on the hubs or the devices themselves on after XP has booted, and they will get sequentially assigned their ID's.

clockwork:

Vista so far looks lika another piece of over bloated over loaded Microstuffed junk.....  Maybe it'll have something in there to improve the situation, but just like you, I somehow doubt it.

Vista is what put the final nail in the M$ coffin for me. My MAME machine is Linux (Fedora 6), my office machine is now Linux, and soon my primary machine at home will be Linux. I never want that POS Vista infecting my systems.

Bill's performance on the Daily Show probably drove in a few more.  That was a train wreck..... :dizzy:

Information removed voluntarily. Wrong application.

Still looking for something that will address the USB ID changing on you each time. So far only Develper tools look like they may help.

Scroll down about mid-way to the "USB Device IDs" heading. Haven't tried this myself but I can see it coming in handy.

I know it's talking about storage devices but then they too suffer from IDs that keep changing on boot-up and can jack a system up that relies on a specific boot sequence. Hope it helps!
