Ah. Never thought of that. Plus forgot that I had clones on. Good thing too, cuz those clones just cluttered things up. Thanks!

Using mame v130 My player 1 buttons are setup like this: wer tyu i <?xml version="1.0"?> <!-- This file is autogenerated; comments and unknown tags will be stripped --> <mameconfig version="10"> <system name="tekken2"> <input> <port tag="PLAYER1" type="P1_JOYSTICK_RIGHT" mask="256" defvalue="0"> <newseq type="standard"> KEYCODE_RIGHT </newseq> </port> <port tag="PLAYER1" type="P1_JOYSTICK_LEFT" mask="512" defvalue="0"> <newseq type="standard"> KEYCODE_LEFT </newseq> </port> <port tag="PLAYER1" type="P1_JOYSTICK_DOWN" mask="1024" defvalue="0"> <newseq type="standard"> KEYCODE_DOWN </newseq> </port> <port tag="PLAYER1" type="P1_JOYSTICK_UP" mask="2048" defvalue="0"> <newseq type="standard"> KEYCODE_UP </newseq> </port> <port tag="PLAYER1" type="P1_BUTTON1" mask="4096" defvalue="0"> <newseq type="standard"> KEYCODE_W </newseq> </port> <port tag="PLAYER1" type="P1_BUTTON2" mask="8192" defvalue="0"> <newseq type="standard"> KEYCODE_E </newseq> </port> <port tag="PLAYER2" type="P2_JOYSTICK_RIGHT" mask="256" defvalue="0"> <newseq type="standard"> KEYCODE_M </newseq> </port> <port tag="PLAYER2" type="P2_JOYSTICK_LEFT" mask="512" defvalue="0"> <newseq type="standard"> KEYCODE_B </newseq> </port> <port tag="PLAYER2" type="P2_JOYSTICK_DOWN" mask="1024" defvalue="0"> <newseq type="standard"> KEYCODE_N </newseq> </port> <port tag="PLAYER2" type="P2_JOYSTICK_UP" mask="2048" defvalue="0"> <newseq type="standard"> KEYCODE_V </newseq> </port> <port tag="PLAYER2" type="P2_BUTTON1" mask="4096" defvalue="0"> <newseq type="standard"> KEYCODE_S </newseq> </port> <port tag="PLAYER2" type="P2_BUTTON2" mask="8192" defvalue="0"> <newseq type="standard"> KEYCODE_D </newseq> </port> <port tag="PLAYER3" type="P1_BUTTON3" mask="4096" defvalue="0"> <newseq type="standard"> KEYCODE_T </newseq> </port> <port tag="PLAYER3" type="P1_BUTTON4" mask="8192" defvalue="0"> <newseq type="standard"> KEYCODE_Y </newseq> </port> <port tag="PLAYER4" type="P2_BUTTON3" mask="4096" defvalue="0"> <newseq type="standard"> KEYCODE_G </newseq> </port> <port tag="PLAYER4" type="P2_BUTTON4" mask="8192" defvalue="0"> <newseq type="standard"> KEYCODE_H </newseq> </port> </input> </system> </mameconfig> Looks ok.

I'm playing tekken2 version A and it still plays like this: 123 4XX Just to make sure, I deleted all the cfg files and started cfg magician from scratch in this order All games - 6 button - 5 button - 4 button - neo geo

Seems to work for most games but Tekken doesn't seem to map properly (4 button game)? Still 123 4XX Instead of 12X 34X Anyone else seeing this?

The remapped buttons work great but the changes aren't reflected in CPwizard? Am I supposed to make a special ctrlr file?

Ahhhh! Problem fixed! It seems I didn't map the P2 joystick under "system name = neo geo" I thought that mame would load the default then look at the neo geo config (like an IF statement). I guess it's one or the other. Thanks a lot for your help Headkaze and Tempest!!!

Any ideas?

Thanks for the quick reply! Players 3 to 8 were already set to none. Any other ideas?

I seen to be having a problem with cpwizard showing my neo geo configuration.

Thanks. Got it to work. My "rom" directory wasn't pointing to my command line directory.

I'm trying to get a video preview to show when I select a pc game (tiger woods golf 08). What is the name convention I need to make the video play in association with the selected game (like mame does)? I tried the same name as the .ico and .exe but it still won't play automatically. Any ideas?

Nevermind... Some of the player3 and 4 buttons where mapped to my p1 and p2 buttons. Problem solved!

For what seems like random games CPwizard shows normally not active buttons as active. I have no idea what is wrong. I'm running the newest version of GameEx 9.30 and CPwizard 1.76. I have this button setup for both 1 and 2 players. 123 456 7 Player 1 is mapped like this: 1234567 (buttons) wertyui (keyboard map) UDLR (Up left down right) keyboard up, left, down, right Player 2: 1234567 sdfghjk UKDR vbnm Attached is an example of the problem i am having

WOW TOM I (heart) you!!! CPWizard support in GameEx is exactly what I was waiting for! Thanks a bunch! Sooo.... How bout putting in support to have roms support multiple directories deep??? Wishful thinking perhaps?

Yeah, cuz all us new guys are clueless! lol

+1 for integrating CPWizard into Gameex!

NICE! I just installed CPWizard. Didn't know it existed. Awesome software! Any other pieces of software I should check out Tempest???

Yep, I always see the controls when the game starts. No problems there. I am running the latest version of mame. Is it maybe because I have my directories setup like this? gameex: default dir mame: c:\arcade\emulators\mame roms: c:\arcade\roms\mame

As the title says I'm wondering what I have to do to make controls show in game. I press L in a mame game and it looks like something minimizes in the background and I am left with a black screen??? Am I supposed to see the controls that gameex displays before the game starts?

Strange. I just tried launching mame direct with -triplebuffer, again with Time Killers v1.32 and it works perfectly. Mame reported it was able to run the game at over 99% speed. Went back to gameex and put triplebuffer back in. Lag again... Any ideas?

I think I figured it out. It seems -triplebuffer is maxing out my processor. But why would a 3800+ with a gig of ram not be enough? I'm only running gameex and "time killers" using mame and without fail it lags.

I'm getting some random IPAC2 lag through gameex. The game will be working fine, then the input suddenly seems like everything gets queued and the actions on screen are played out without touching the controls. The game would still be running at full speed. It happens pretty much randoms during gameplay after everything seems to working. I reset the page file and set directx keyboard input but it still happens. I have a Athlon 3800+ and a gig of ram, which should be good enough for mostly anything. Any ideas?

There isn't a launch before/ launch on exit option for zinc?

Thank for the quick reply! How do you do autohotkey scripts?

Hey guys, I have an IPAC2 connected to 2 joysticks with 7 buttons each and 2 admin buttons. I am trying to configure my emulators to work with the controls but now I'm banging my head against the wall trying to get everything to work due to button conflicts between emulators. 1) For example, mame defaults stuff to command keys like CTRL, ALT, SHIFT but then Sega Fusion uses those keys for actually menu and admin commands versus gamepad buttons. 2) Zinc has defaults that aren't the same as mame and it looks like a nightmare to change the config file... Is there an easy solution for configuring controls for a variety of different emulators? Can anyone indicate which buttons are best for mapping to keyboard button (to avoid potential conflicts)? Many someone could tell me how they configured their IPAC 2 and post their config files as well?
