Where do you get input maps (mame)?

The joystick_map values only work from the ini files (& commandline).   :(

urebel,

Would you recommend using Headkaze's utility, in conjunction with this ?  It looks pretty cool.

Yes.  Works great, makes analog to digital mapping easier.  If you haven't worked with mame's -joystick_map, headkaze's app definitely is the way to go.  Would have been easier for me if this was around when I was playing with maps.

Yes, it would make sense from the user's point of view to have them in the cfg & ctrlr files, but the history on when each of the feature were added & edited and mame's structure show why it's in the commandline & ini files instead.  I think mame could be recoded so it's in cfg/ctrlr files instead of CL/ini, but a lot of internal reworking to do so logically and cleanly.  It would not make sense to have it in both CL/ini & cfg/ctrlr.

I kind of figured that, but I appreciate your confirmation. Sorry it took me so long to come back here and see your reply.

One other thing I am wondering; I really like the Defender & Stargate hack for reverse and thrust. I have spent a couple of hours looking through the source code in .84 and comparing it to the current code. But I cannot really find the right code. I would really like to compile it into the current release so I don't have to use two different versions of mame. Plus artwork looks really crappy in the old version. Do you, or anyone else know where the right code is so I could put this hack into .129?
