Any X-Arcade users out there?
DeLuSioNal29:
A word of advice: Your best bet it to eliminate the Frontend until you can get your Tankstick working properly with MAME. The less variables you introduce the better. Once you get it working properly for all games, then set it up using the Frontend and take it from there.
Also, to fix your problem, you may have to just simply load the "xarcade.cfg" file which is located in the "MAME\ctrlr" folder (It's included with MAME so there is no need to download it). To make it load automatically, you have to edit your "mame.ini" file to load the xarcade.cfg. If you don't have a mame.ini file to edit in the MAME folder, then simply create one at the command line (make sure you're in the MAME directory) and type: mame -cc This will create the mame.ini file.
Here's the line you need to add to the mame.ini file:
--- Code: ---ctrlr xarcade
--- End code ---
This will look for the xarcade.cfg controller file before MAME loads.
Also, make sure you make the mouse is set to 1 (default is 0) and the trackball device is set to mouse (default is keyboard).
--- Code: ---mouse 1
trackball_device mouse
--- End code ---
Hope this helps!

Got a X-Arcade dual stick recently and I love it - I was surprised to come across a negative post about them on a forum recently - I can't fault it - well, perhaps the cost of it and the adaptors!!
I use it with my PC and Xbox and it really gives you that authentic arcade feel - but I must admit - I'd choose my cab over it anyday - good for comfort though as the cab is currently in the dark, cold garage! :P

Num Lock was on....My FE didn't have the cfg...I went and dloaded it....
I was just wondering if everyone who has x-arcade...do they use Mode 1 or do they start off the bat and program their settings with the other modes (mode 2-4)
Also...do all x-arcaders go through the MAME game list and changed the default game controls and change it to fit their x-arcade, OR is there just a setting on MAME to pick to bypass it....
Now I am confusing myself...here....let me try this
Computer has...
MAME32 v129
Daphne 1.0
SK Jukebox
anytime should be receiving all Roms for NES/SEGA
Visual & Future Pinball
Mame was installed last month...I went to the help file located in options and set my options to what the suggested setting were on the list.
Just got tankstick yesterday...
Is there anything special that I need to do...?
Am I going to have to click on each game and change the controls settings?
What would you do?
Please be gentle with the noob...he is learning...and also suffering from mental deficiency

You should be fine on the original mode for MAME along with other emulators I never have had a problem with the X-Arcade stick. ;D

By NO means, I'm not putting down X-arcade...I love it....This is mostly user error...I think what the problem is that my Mame folder didnt have XArcade cfg. I just got it and I'm going to throw it in soon as I get home...That and also this noob is getting his battlescars...
Few things come into play about this...
1. Like you, I've been on the forums since July and I havent seen ONE question about X-arcade setup.( so in my mind, I thought setup was gold)
2. I'm still learning when it comes to Emulation and all the programs. It very hard when you havent been gaming since Mortal Kombat 3 came out and getting back into the game .
3. What sucks is that there is nobody near where I am from and can look in the eye and talk about MAME....You guys( the forum) are the only ones I know...
