As the topic title says i'm looking for a solution for saving my gameboy games on a timed basis. Idealy an autosave after a certain ammount of time. like five minutes or so. I'm a couple of buttons short to add the save came command to a button, and, when you manually save a game you will need a mouse to move true the windows screen that opens up. Or maybe an ingame plugin that gives you the opportunity to save it manually but not opening a windows screen? I hope you guys could help me out here!

Oh boy I feel so stupid after this: Command=VisualBoyAdvance.exe "[ROMPATH]\[ROMFILE]" While my emulator was called VisualBoyAdvance-M.exe somehow.... So all fixed now

Hi all, I have VBA-M installed to run my gameboy games. This does work on itself. So i can open and play games when running on itself and not true gameex. But then when i open gameex and open a game the screen goes black for some seconds and then it goes back to gameex. I added the emulator ini from GameEx, CONFIG, EMULATORS, IMPORT-EXPORT ----> [Handheld] Nintendo Game Boy (VBA-M) Maybe you could find any weird things here?

Tempest, thanks for the answer. No idea if that would have worked. I solved it by hitting the set to default button in the wizzard. Looked like nothing changed after i went true all the options again but when i started GameEx it was all working again. So just when i was editing my topic title i saw your resonse!

Thanks! Gonna have a look at that right now.

I was planning to register too. But! I don't have a credit card and since Google wallet needs that it looks like I'm doomed. PayPal would be a great solution for me. Mailed a question about this but still no response.

I love this theme! Just what i was looking for, tnx! One question, in the video at 3:03, you have some icons in front of the game names in mame. I was wondering how you got those there, i would love to have this too.

Allright, problem solved. Sad part is no idea HOW. Yesterday i compiled mame64 myself like Adultery sugested with DI and it's working! So so far so good. Once again thank you guys for thinking with me. I'm surprised with the quick responses and goodwill to help others. (Time to register my GameEx and help the developers too)

Allrighty, default.cfg And then 1944 <?xml version="1.0"?><!-- This file is autogenerated; comments and unknown tags will be stripped --><mameconfig version="10"> <system name="1944"> <counters> <coins index="0" number="7" /> </counters> <input> <port tag=":IN2" type="START1" mask="256" defvalue="256"> <newseq type="standard"> JOYCODE_1_BUTTON5 </newseq> </port> <port tag=":IN2" type="COIN1" mask="4096" defvalue="4096"> <newseq type="standard"> JOYCODE_1_BUTTON6 </newseq> </port> </input> </system></mameconfig> Off to work now so will have a look myself too when i get home.

Can't stand it when i can't solve a problem. So, no sleep. Problem partially solved. I got 1 and 5 working on my gamepad. BUT....... i can nog change it in "input (general)" but have to change it in "input (this game)" wich means i have to manualy change this to all the games? I'm allmost sure there is a workaround or some neat trick for this. And now real bedtime

Found it in the ini folder. Mame ini: Mame32 ini: Btw, this is the mame i'm messing around with to try to get it to work. For GameEx i got mame64 but can not find a mame.ini file there....

Also tried to turn off joystick in MAMEui settings, and then get it working true xpadder, also no results. Bed time here now Hope to see some more replies tomorow, and fingers crossed that one of those will solve my problem.

Thanks for the super fast replies. It does not give me a message that something is changed. I do see the input change from kbd5 to joy-button1 (or whatever button i take on my gamepad). After that i go back to the game, and i can not use the button to add coins. Then i go back there with tab again and it is still changed to my gamepad button. I also tried quitting the game and start it up again, try my button and it still does not work, hit tab and have a look and the button is still assigned there. Weird thing is, the kb5 still does work, even when in mame its assigned to my gamepad button. Maybe you can have a look at my ini file? Looks like i can not find kb1 and kb5 there.

Well, working on compiling mame, more about that later. I also tried that, start a game, hit TAB and then configure the controls. Go to "start" and i see kb1and kb5 is configured there. i hit enter and then it goes blank, press the button i want to use on my gamepad, and i see it changes to that button. so i go down all the way, back to prior menu, back to game, give it a try and it wont work. Double checked by hitting TAB again, input is still ghanged. (Also tried diffrent buttons on my gamepad so i'm sure it's not a malfunction of a particular button) This all without using Xpadder btw. For me the weird thing is that any button works with any input, but just the 1 and 5 dont

I tried that. I changed 1 (player one) and 5 (insert coin) to [ and ] Now, this works, if i use [ and ] on my keyboard, it works in MAME. Now i changed the mapping on my gamepad to imput [ and ] too. Now here is the weird thing, it still does nt work. I tried diffrent buttons on my gamepad. All the other buttons are working, so the Ctrl, Alt, Spacebar and Shift doe work on my gamepad. Only ones that will not work are 1 and 5 (after i changed them [ and ] but changed that back) So, i have to use my keyboard for 1 and 5, and after that i can just play the games with my gamepad. If i want more coins i need to use my keayboard again.

Gonna give it a try right away. Still weird that any other keyboard key is registered but nog the two keys for "player one" and "coin" Will report after trying.

Hi all, I hope i'm in the right section here. I have some trouble with mapping some keys to my gamepad. First of all, i got it all working in GameEx. So i can use my gamepad to control the menu. (joystick for scrolling, buttons to select, go back etc) I use Xpadder to get this all done. Now my problem is, whenever is start MAME, i NEED to use my keyboard for input 1 (player one) and input 5 (insert coin) I have mapped 2 buttons on my gamepad to kb1 and kb5. These do work, if i open wordpad and hit the buttons the numbers 1 and 5 do appear. But somehow it does not work in MAME. So i still have to use my keyboard and hit the 1 and 5 on there in order to get player one selected and insert coins. Anybody had this problem and solved it? Or anybody got some idea's how tyo solve this problem?
