Visual Pinball Question

[duhyrb]

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction on this, I have done some searching and couldnt really find anyone with the same issue.

I have Visual Pinball 8.1 and the latest pinmame running in Game EX, the games load fine and are playable except I can't get the insert coin to not be mapped to the left flipper, I believe it's button 3.

I am using the X-Arcade joystick and have changed the mapping within Visual Pinball to another button but it doesn't pick up the changes, it seems o use the default mame config.

I hope this makes sense and appreciate anyones assistance.

Thanks

Makes since to me... The default buttons are 5 and 6 just like mame.

What keys are you trying to remap it to?

I want to map the right and left flipper to the side flipper buttons on the x-arcade which are buttons 3 & 4. When I do this it constantly inserts coins while im playing visual pinball games. Those are the correct insert coin buttons for the xarcade for within MAME, I just thought I could change that when I was in a different emulator.

I re-mapped the flipper buttons to the down motion of joystick 1 & 2 and that works well, not as comfortable as the side flipper buttons though.

Thanks

Why don't you just remap the Coin insert to another button. That's what I did.

Oops. Just realised that remapping the coin insert button didnt make a difference. It seems to be locked in. Found this in another part of the forum. Not sure how to attach it but if you search the forum for "vpmkeys.vbs" it should take you to the righ t page. Works a treat!

Hey guys, I have this same problem! I'm using the Xarcade tankstick as well! Where do I put this file after I download it? Also, do I unzip it? Please help, this is driving me crazy!
