Title: How do I use the offscreen_reload option only for lightgun games that need it?
Post by: dmworking247 on January 07, 2008, 12:26:33 am

When I set offscreen_reload to '1' in the mame.ini, the B button of my lightgun works as reload for games like Lethal Enforcers (that needs to shoot offscreen to reload).

However, I cant leave it this way permanently... if I do, other games that dont use offscreen-reload and have a different function for button B... the offscreen_reload option seems to make button B function the same as Button A (mouse 0) when I set things up in the game config.

Is there a way to set things up so that offscreen_reload is configured on a game-by-game basis?

Make a game-specific ini file (gamename.ini), and put in your \mame\ini folder!

It only needs to contain the part(s) you want different to mame.ini.  ie, in this case 'offscreen_reload 1'.

You legend, thankyou! I'm going to try that right now.
