Hi Everyone,
I have read a number of forums, and tried a number of approaches to map my arcade cab joystick/buttons to a NES the original control buttons to no avail.
Bottom-line - I am wanting to emulate the NES (classic) with RetroArch. I don't want to use a controller, I want to use the joystick/buttons on my arcade cab. It appears that out-of-the-box, buttons A, B, Start and directional pad is all mapped, but I can't seem to get the "select" button mapped.
I have tried editing the retroarch.cfg file (there appears to be up to 15 player repeated configurations. I tried mapping to xxx_select, xxx_select_btn on player 1 and player 2 in the config file - and it never recognizes the "select". As a test, I've used a few games (e.g. Zelda to complete the player registration, where "select" moves the heart).
I have also tried going to the RGUI (F1) while I have a game launched with Retroarch, and setting the "select" to coin 1 in the Retroarch "input" settings unsuccessfully.
This seems like something over completed and should be easy to do. What am I missing?
