Just got done setting up mamewah (GREAT program by that way) but have run in to a problem :(
To try and make things as user friendly as possible I thought it would be handy to use the neo geo layout of A B C D to make menu choices: Play, Emulator, Catergory and Find respectively. I went about making my own default ctrlr file.
I wanted to take it one step further and have the A and B buttons provide the functions of SELECT and BACK in the Options menu as you can see from attached graphic.
This is where things aren't working out. A is fine, it allows me to select the item etc. It's the B that I just can't seem to get working. The problem really shows itself when using Find and not being able to delete an error.
Here's a snippet of my ctrlr file. Maybe someone can make sense of this.
### INPUT MAPPINGS ###
# main form
..... joystick stuff...
FIND_GAME "DIK_LSHIFT"
RANDOM_GAME
SELECT_EMULATOR "DIK_LALT"
NEXT_EMULATOR
PREVIOUS_EMULATOR
SELECT_GAMELIST "DIK_SPACE"
NEXT_GAMELIST
PREVIOUS_GAMELIST
ADD_GAME_TO_LIST
REMOVE_GAME_FROM_LIST
MENU_SHOW
MENU_LOCK
LAUNCH_GAME "DIK_LCONTROL"
....
...exit stuff...
# options form
..... joystick stuff...
OP_MENU_SELECT "DIK_LCONTROL"
OP_MENU_BACK "DIK_LALT"
OP_MENU_HIDE
In my file I have the key set to show an emulator in the #main form and give menu back in the #options form
If you look at the original default.ini:
### INPUT MAPPINGS ###
# main form
..... joystick stuff...
FIND_GAME "DIK_TAB"
RANDOM_GAME "DIK_LSHIFT"
SELECT_EMULATOR "DIK_Z"
NEXT_EMULATOR "DIK_4"
PREVIOUS_EMULATOR "DIK_6"
SELECT_GAMELIST "DIK_X"
NEXT_GAMELIST "DIK_3"
PREVIOUS_GAMELIST "DIK_5"
ADD_GAME_TO_LIST "DIK_A"
REMOVE_GAME_FROM_LIST "DIK_S"
MENU_SHOW "DIK_2"
MENU_LOCK "DIK_LALT & DIK_2"
LAUNCH_GAME "DIK_1"
....
...exit stuff...
# options form
..... joystick stuff...
OP_MENU_SELECT "DIK_1"
OP_MENU_BACK "DIK_2"
OP_MENU_HIDE
You can see that DIK_2 is used in two instances. One in the #main form to show the menu and again in the #options form to give you menu back. Have I missed something? I really would like to have this setup if possible.
Thanks.
