GameEx Arcade - Driving Cab Setup

[grunger106]

Hi

I've got a couple of questions on a new setup on a driver

Is it possible to use the wheel input to move around the UI? - I've tried mapping it to L/R, U/D but although it seems to take a setting it doesn't do anything in the UI (I've mapped the settings to a button on the wheel which works fine)
It may not support analogue input of course, so figured I'd ask before digging much further.

My 2nd question
I seem to have EVERYTHING shown under MAME (I've only got ~25 regular MAME roms and 10 or so more M2/M3 roms)
Running RacerMAME (Which is based off MAME 0.160)

There used to be an only-exisiting setting IIRC?
I've got GameEx Arcade on my other cabinet (Mame 0.217) and thats all good though.

Any input welcome

Thanks!

You may wish to review this thread:

Please attach copies of your gameex.ini and log.txt files for review.

Also, knowing your brand/model of racing wheel and if you are using any gamepad emulators, such as x360ce or Xpadder will be of help.

Not sure about the other stuff but decade old MAME is a no no with Arcade Edition.

Figured out the wheel movement, its a G27 and with the stock combined pedal settings the pedal is always at 50% which screws up the input for menu navigation via the wheel.
I've worked around it with Joy2Key and the buttons on the wheel - works fine now.

I assumed the answer to the second question would be update MAME - I would, but racermame has all the customisations for the drivers and it works perfectly..... apart from the fact it uses the older version that doesn't work with Arcade.

I'm using regular GameEx and its fine, just missing that nice wheel UI which I use on my joystick cab (and also use PinballX on my VPin - subscriber since 2009 )

On the subject of that, what I'm basically trying to do is just get a game list of all the games under emulators and mame - the GameList theme almost does it, but I don't see my MAME games in there, just the TP/Demul ones I call with batch files/ahk, am I missing something dumb?
I do see the full lot under all games in the default theme.

I'll grab the ini/log later if req'd - I'm done with the cab for now after battling with Demul and it's DInput errors with FFB devices, so I think a game of CrazyTaxi is earnt......

While you might not get all of the features of the integrated MAME support with GameEx Arcade and RACERMAME, have you considered testing by loading RacerMAME via one of the emulator slots? 

You should still have the slick wheel features and theme videos. Just a thought.
