Slikstik configuration files?

[Kyle]

I'm in the process of recovering from a hard drive crash on my Dreamauthentics Excalibur system that I've had for about 3 years. My target is nothing fancy, just Windows XP with the command line MAME using the fabulous GameEX frontend that I've always had on it. I registered the first time around but I plan on donating again when I get it all setup and running just because I'm so impressed with all the work that has been put into this product.

So at this point I'm about 97% back up and running. Windows XP is done, MAME v 128 with the related roms are installed and mostly configured, and I've got GameEx pretty much up and talking to MAME. I think my remaining problems would be solved by just having access to the Slikstik configuration files that shipped with my unit (yea, I know, I should have had a disk image of everythign before this crash, I'll be doing that this time when it get everything 100%).

As a for instance, when I'm in the Configuration untility and it says "Use the below listed devices" I have nothing listed to select. The help files don't really tell how things end up in there, just to select them if you want to use them. I've search the forums and the download area on this site and I'm not seeing anything, and some looking around on the net has revealed that possibly the company that made Slikstick has gone out of the business in the last year?

Any ideas where a guy might find such configuration files?

Thanks!

Well you could opt to use charprobe. Its a program that will tell you what key your pressing when pressing a button or moving the joystick.

Then you can write down the info and determine what button you want to perform each function. Then use the setup wizard to map the keys.. Eg. back,select, volume up and down etc....

I know its not exactly what your after but you should be able to achive the same results.

which version SlikStik? I might have the .cfg file you need. (I have the Classic unit)

Yes, I have the Classic unit as well. If you could email it to me that would be great. I'll check my forum settings and make sure they are set so you can do that.

Thanks!

Here's what I have in my MAME32 CTRL folder

Hope one of them work for you.
