Hello, Maybe this is the wrong forum, but i don't know wher to put it. I would like to run a cabinet with a Touchscreen and the old Photoplay software (austrian cabinet where are games like "find it", "shanghai",... on it). Does someone know if there is a working version included in mame? or is there a working file? Best Regards C

Thx, i tried this but it didn't work. I do all like descriped, but still having problems with the wireless controller in retroarch. I adjust the 2 wireless xbox controller to work in retroarch, after i play a game inwait that the controller goes in sleep, switch it back on and start a game in retroarch, and than other controllers are used in retroarch. Maybe there is a way to modify the retroarch config that it only should use the xbox controllers? Best regards

Hello, I have a big Problem with changed controller id. I am using 2 Xbox360 Wireless controller, the mayflash bar with 2 wiimotes, 2 wireless guitars for clone hero and also 2 dance Pedals for Stepmania, All is working so fine, but if i disconnect a dancepad or if i switch off a xbox controller, and then switch on again the settings for the specific controller are gone. For example in Retroarch all is working fine with the xbox controller, and then when i start the next time i have to configure again that retroarch should use the xbox controller. And the sam thin for a lot of other software. So is there a way that windows stored the specific controller for he specific id? Thanks for help.

No problem But the result is the same. After i follow your steps and i disconnect a spinner the id's are not the same

Hello, I will try this, but i am not sure what you mean with 1. Change the mouse ID's to the order you want to see in "mame.ini". Save and close. Can i change the mouse Id also in the mame.ini File or do you mean the remapo File? And if you mean the mame.ini. How do i do this?

Hello again, Yes the spinners working correct for Player 1 and 2. I delete the .cfg File for Gunfight and tried it again. Also i tried to change the mouse id in Mame 0:spinner 1, 1:Trackball, 2:Spinner 2 It is the same result. In the Input config the working ones are Mouse 1 and Mouse 3. What i recogniced is that, after a restart, if all is connected, The spinner working again as Number 1 and 3 (even if i disconnected before and they act as 2 and 4). I think it is not perfect, but i can live with that if they working with the same mouse Id after a restart. Thx for your help, and maybe this Thread can also help some other people. Ps,: If you have another Idea for that, for sure i will try.

the Logs are the same before and after the reconnecting for the 3 input devices I play the game with Launchbox, so Mame should be fully closed. In the Screenshot you see that is mouse 1 for P1 and mouse 3 for P2. I dont know, but should it be mouse 2 and mouse 3 ??? according to the inputmap??

you were right. In the german device manager it shows / and in mame it is #. Here is the log with # Starting No Driver Loaded ':' (missing dependencies; rescheduling) Starting Video Screen ':screen' Starting No Driver Loaded ':' Checking for icons in directory icons No candidate icons found for machines Attempting to parse: remapo.cfg Applying default configuration from controller configuration file remapo.cfg Input: Remapped mouse #2: HID-compliant mouse (device id: \\?\HID#VID_32BE&PID_1420#8&16ca0db7&0&0000#{378de44c-56ef-11d1-bc8c-00a0c91405dd}) Input: Remapped mouse #1: HID-compliant mouse (device id: \\?\HID#VID_32BE&PID_1420#8&32888d80&0&0000#{378de44c-56ef-11d1-bc8c-00a0c91405dd}) Input: Remapped mouse #0: HID-compliant mouse (device id: \\?\HID#VID_D209&PID_0410&MI_01&Col03#7&2ee0ae83&0&0002#{378de44c-56ef-11d1-bc8c-00a0c91405dd}) Attempting to parse: default.cfg Attempting to parse: ___empty.cfg But ingame it is still the same Problem. I tried a game and it works. Afterwards i close the game, disconnect and connect the spinner again and it not works until i go to the input Settings in mame and bind it again.

OK, thanks for your explanation. I found this in the end of the file: Checking for icons in directory icons No candidate icons found for machines Attempting to parse: remapo.cfg Applying default configuration from controller configuration file remapo.cfg Input: Remapped mouse #0: HID-compliant mouse (device id: \\?\HID#VID_D209&PID_0410&MI_01&Col03#7&2ee0ae83&0&0002#{378de44c-56ef-11d1-bc8c-00a0c91405dd}) Attempting to parse: default.cfg Attempting to parse: ___empty.cfg

Thx for your help, but it did not work. i copied your "bad" guess try my favorite game (Gun Fight) and afterwards disconnect and connect 1 spinner start it again, and the ids are different. Maybe someone has another Idea for this Problem.

Hello, I tried a lot, but im still not able to fix the mouse is in Mame. i use a Trackball and 2 Spinners My remap file is as follows, it is a .cfg File and located in the mame/ctrlr Folder. <mameconfig version="10"> <system name="default"> <input> <mapdevice device="PID_0410" controller="MOUSECODE_1" /> <mapdevice device="32888d80" controller="MOUSECODE_2" /> <mapdevice device="16ca0db7" controller="MOUSECODE_3" /> </input> </system> </mameconfig> I use for mouse 2 and 3 not the "PID_..." because the 2 spinners have the same id except of this Numbers. Spinner 1 id: HID\VID_32BE&PID_1420\8&16ca0db7&0&0000 Spinner 2 id: HID\VID_32BE&PID_1420\8&32888d80&0&0000 Trackball Id: HID\VID_D209&PID_0410&MI_01&Col03\7&2ee0ae83&0&0002 In the ini Fileoks a follows // remapo is the name of the File # # CORE INPUT OPTIONS # coin_lockout 1 ctrlr remapo mouse 1 joystick 1 lightgun 1 multikeyboard 0 multimouse 1 steadykey 0 ui_active 0 offscreen_reload 1 joystick_map auto joystick_deadzone 0.3 joystick_saturation 0.85 natural 0 joystick_contradictory 0 coin_impulse 0 Maybe someone have an Idea what im doing wrong.

Hi, I'm using Launchbox since 1 year, and im very happy with it. For most of my Questions i found good answers in the forum or in youtube videos (thx's for this), but now i have a Questions were i dont find a satisfieing Solution for this. I use Launchbox on my Cabinet with an ultimate ipac. And i also want to launch some Windows and Steam games, but in some games it is not possible to use 1 keyboards for 2 players, so my idea is to use "Virtaul controller". But im not able to to get it running and even exiting. Does somebody know what i have to do and which ahk script i have to use (or maybe another software to make virtual controllers)? thx

Thanks for the Information, i will try this. Best reagrds

Hello, Im new in using Launchbox, and i really like the look and feal. I have an arcade cabinet, and i am looking for an option to mapp the the Buttons to all emulators at once (i also bought the big Box licence). So i mapped it once and can use this mapping on all emulators, and if i would like to change at a specific emulator or game i make this seperatly. (like it is in retropie, to mapp it during first start up). Best regards
