help with key mapping

have everthing working in Gammex except i hit something wrong in setup

I have a jpac if that matters but when i get a game selected in mame it comes up i can add credits, but when i hit player 1 (D1) key mapped it brings me back to the

selection screen of games!

If i hit 2 players (D2) key mapped it works perfect.

What do i need to change?

If the settings in MAME got changed, you have 2 choices.

1. Delete the default.cfg file and restart MAME
   
2. When in MAME, press TAB on the keyboard to bring up the options menu. Enter the controls menu and choose what controls you want for your layout.
   

If you are using the defualt MAME layout, I'd recommend option 1. If you have modified things significantly, you probably will want to just fix what has gotten screwed up by going with option 2.

THANKS!

Never thought of the mame part i was thinking it was in the gameex setup i screwed up

Ahhh, rookie mistakes. I still make em. Took me a long time to realize GameEx doesn't actually control the games. Good rule of thumb is do all your testing of any emulator from the dos box before loading it in GameEx. If it works in DOS then it should work in GameEx. And if it doesn't then you know where to come for help

One of these days I'll figure out how to get DAPHNE to work...

Daphne is a tough one to get running. It's also a bit more difficult to get running in GameEx (relative to MAME for instance). There are a few guides here for setting up Daphne. If that doesn't help, you can also try checking out the BYOAC forums as they discuss a broader range of emulation issues than just those related to GameEx setup.

Even from DOS I've only ever gotten it to run Dragon's Lair. Not the 2nd one and none of the other games. It's a bear, that's for sure.
