MAME 0.120 controller configuration
Sailing_Nut:
I am trying to set up a custom configuration file for my control panel that is powered by a GP-Wiz.
I had it mostly working with an earlier version of MAME, but I just loaded 0.120 and it no longer works.
I've looked all over for documentation on .CFG files for MAME and have not had any luck. I just need to find out what all of the possible input types and port types are so that I can create a file.
Hopefully someone can help me out! If not I may loose it! :hissy:

I gave a basic answer in the other forum (summary: remap in-game and then compare the cfg/cfg file with your ctrlr/cfg file), but you you want to post your ctrlr file, I'll skim it.

I found that setting the "joystick" setting to "1" in the mame.ini file is a great help!
Do you know of anywhere that defines all of the <port type="?????"> and <newseq type="???>????</newseq> tags?
That reference would be a great help!

Not really any simple easy lists. :-\
You can look in the source: src/emu/inptport.c in the const input_port_default_entry for most of it, and src/osd/windows/input.c in the function osd_customize_inputport_list for the four (as of 0.120) windows changes.

I figured it was going to come down to reading the source!
Good thing I develop softwre for a living! ;)
If I get ambitious, maybe I'll do a document of all of the stuff. If I do, where should I send / post it so that others can make use of it too?
