Need working xarcade.cfg for most recent MameUI

[zaktallica]

I'm using the most recent version of mameUI and every xarcade.cfg I try either does not work all the way or messes up on neo geo games. I was wondering of someone can give me a pre compiled xarcade.cfg that will work with MameUI 129. As of now i'm using the one from the x arcade website and the games will let me insert coins and press start but that's it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Ok well it seem's like most of the games work through Mame32UI but neo geo games are all messed up, The buttons are scattered instead 1 2 3 4 so is there a quick download to fix this?

Sounds like it wasn't set up completely.

Put the xarcade.cfg file into the ctrlr folder in the mame folder.
Start mameUI, go to the options, default game options, controllers, default input layout, and select xarcade.  Apply and okay.

(I'm assuming you didn't change the default ctrlr path, aka options, directories, controller files is still set to "ctrlr".)

Nope still doesn't work. I just received my new pc for Mame and set everything up as instructed. Put my tank stink in and button 3 is to jump 4 is grenade and button 7 is to shoot. I'm sure you already know this but the tank stick has 6 buttons over lapping and 2 more in the lower left like this-------------------------------->

So any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hmm, it does sound funny.  The xarcade ctrlr file should be mapping neogeo games as follows:

  x x x
  B C D
A x

(with the "x" buttons not used.)  For mslug, A should be shot, B Jump, and C grenade.  I haven't used the tank version: what keys do the player 1 buttons send?  I'm asking because the tank is reprogrammable, and mame remapped in either "Input (general)" or for mslug inside mame would override ctrlr maps.  (button 3 usually is space, --BINGO! Either that, or I was attempting to say "before" but it was too many letters to type-- usually left shift, b5 'A' key)
