Figured it out: run (type emulator location) "savestates\BLUS30528\used_BLUS30528_1_0.SAVESTAT"

Hi everyone. I'm trying to launch a savestate in LB from RPCS3. I know I need an ahk script, but I can't seem to figure out how to create one that'll launch the savestate file. Any help?

Oh. I didn't rename default.cfg the first time around. I have default.cfg AND zerodelay_x2 in the ctrl folder. With mame.ini pointing to zerodelay_x2. So I'll rename default.cfg and have mame.ini point to that now.

Oh sorry. I may not have typed that correctly. I meant after changing those 2 lines in zerodelay_x2 , do I copy and paste those changes into default.cfg? For the second part, I don't follow. Yes, I have "core input options ctrlr zerodelay_cfg. Isn't that what I'm supposed to have? Then after setting the controllers in Mame I copy default.cfg to the ctrlr folder. After that, I shouldn't need to make anymore changes to the general controls, right?

Thanks. Do i need to re-copy those 2 lines after making the changes to default.cfg?

just fyi. I did redo the default.cfg and copied it again to the ctrlr folder. i also changed the contoller numbers to 1,2,3,4 as you mentioned earlier. i haven't rebooted the PC or unplugged any contollers again. dmList.txt

So. its messed up again! i shut the PC down and unplugged the usb hub where all the joysticks are connected, and when i booted up and started Mame, it rearranged the sticks and buttons. I had shut the PC down a few days ago and nothing changed then. Is it because i unplugged this time?

i had been doing that too. it won't work. Windows still eventually changes it.

I've tested it with all 4 contollers and it al seems to be working with the settings i have. I may be able to leave it as is. It could mess up when i introduce the wheel, but i guess for now, its functioning properly. I'm going to turn the pc off a couple times to be sure Mame isnt losing the setup. thx for all the help

ok. So it should look like this? I only focused on the joysticks for now. I'll have a look at the steering wheel and see how that works. I'm not sure Windows changes its ID. My gun is a Sinden which acts as a mouse, so i don't think it gets affected. default.cfg

let me know if anything looks wrong. not sure if I missed brackets or quotation marks,etc.

zerodelay_x2.cfg

Sorry. Should all 3 joysticks say "joycode 1"? Or is it ok for them to say joycode 1, 2, 3 etc? Or does that matter?

Thanks for the suggestion! I didn't even think to set all the joysticks in Mame all together like that. I'll give that a try and see how that all works out. Thanks again

So if I understand you correctly, I can't have 1 cfg file with all 3 joysticks? I have to create 3 different ones? That's fine, but under Core Input Options, I can only put 1 in there (8wayconfig in your example)? Do I do this first before setting the default and game specific controls within Mame? So, as long as I have 3 config files (1 for each joystick), then I go into Mame and load Tron up and under "this machine" set the controller to use my Tron style stick, Mame creates that Tron.cgfg (or .ini, I can't remember) and then each time I load Tron up, that specific controller loads up? I won't run into Windows changing it anymore? Would I put my wheel, gun and gamepad still in the default cfg still? Along with the 8way. Sorry for so many questions. I just want to get it right.
