Coin button not responding correctly
M.Lanza:
All right.
I don't have an ipac, but I can help.
I have my xbox controller connect to my pc using the XBDC drivers.
I found that the back button is reported as button 8 in windows,
so you would need to press button 8 to regester a credit in mameox.
This is what windows is reporting as the xbox button mapping:
A = button 1
B = button 2
X = button 3
Y = button 4
Black = button 5
White = button 6
Start = button 7
Back = button 8
Left stick = button 9
Right stick = button 10
Left Trigger = button 11
Right Trigger = button 12
If you were wondering why your credit button worked at the mameox splash screen
that displays "insert coin", it is because you don't need to press any speficic button to
get to the rom list.
You will probably need to configure your controls within mameox if you already have everything wired up.
To do this, you need to acess the configuration menu.
You do this by selecting a game from the rom list.
Once the game has loaded, you need to press the "back" and "white" buttons at the same time. ( buttons 6 and 8 )
After you bring up the in-game menu, select the " input (general) " option and configure your controls from there.
Before configuring your controls, you should read the "help" text.
You can find it in the main menu by pressing "start" at the rom list screen.
This will show you all of the buttons on the xbox controller do within mameox.

Thanks for all this info, but let me ask a few questions before I program all my buttons and get everything all screwed up. Since all my other buttons work flawless, do I still have to program those? Can I just program the "back" button? Would it be the same if I program it to the number 8 key on the keyboard as opposed to the numer 5, which it is currently at? Thanks again for all the help

I don't see any problem with that.

You won't have to do anything if they are working correctly.

I have tried programming the back key to both the number 8 on the top of the keyboard and the number 8 on the number key pad and neither seemed to do the trick. What else would be suggested? Thanks

Sometimes MAME ox can be difficult to configure. Mine was set up once that every time I pressed the punch button, it would save the game. It's very easy to mess up the configs.
Physically, it looks like the switch itself is working just fine. So it is probably software related. What I would do is find an alternate xbox as a test and install a FRESH copy of MAMEOX. Then test the button. If it works, then it's definitely your config. Reinstalling a Fresh copy on your existing Xbox may not help, as the save files and configs are sometimes hidden, and only a format will wipe it out completely.
On the other hand, it could be a defective ipac to xbox adapter cable. But highly unlikely.
