You can't map keys in the GUI. You have to edit Retroarch/retroarch.cfg manually. You can see from the post above a sample of my player1 key mappings in retroarch.cfg. You will need to know they keys that are mapped to each of your controls, which you can see in the WiniPac application. My control panel as 8 buttons each player, so I assign them to Retropad buttons A, B, X, Y, L1, R1, L2, R2 and the joystick to the D-Pad.
-
Without seeing your configs, I would guess either you have something configured wrong in your retroarch.cfg or your default iPac key map. (You don't have any previous saved Retroarch remaps do you, by core, by directory or by game?)
-
Here is part of my retroarch.cfg player 1 control settings, which I believe are the standard iPac layout.
-
No. Just set your keys as needed. I would start with General input and than only change specific games that differ from those defaults. If you look at the file Retroarch-> retroarch.cfg and look for input_player# entries, you can set any not wanted to "nul". I would suggest leaving that until you have the rest of Retroarch set up as you want. I have my arcade controls set to resemble a Retropad layout, so I have the option to use the arcade controls or the XBox wireless controllers.

You will NOT need a static mapping for the Mini-iPac. Normally MAME does not use multi-keyboard mode and all keyboards and keyboard encoders (like the Mini-iPac), appear as the one device.
-
If you are replacing the USB Mayflash stick with a Mini-Pac in keyboard mode, you will greatly simplify your set up and avoid most issues. If you want to use multiple USB devices, especially ones that are hot pluggable, that doc DOS76 posted is a must read to maintain a static device order so your MAME set key mappings stay consistent. Be aware that MAME deletes key mappings to hot pluggable devices if they aren't attached when MAME is started. To avoid that you'll have to set cfg files for those games to read-only.
-
If you set the miniPac to keyboard mode, you can use keystrokes in MAME and than set no keys in your Retroarch default.cfg and it will use the usb gamepads only in Retroarch. No need to worry about joystick indexes than, I have mine set up like that, except I have my default.cfg in Retroarch mapped to the Arcade controls so I can use them or my XBox controllers.
-
All you can do is try a different set or modify the audio yourself if it's something simple like pitch or tempo.
-
Are you using standalone or with Retroarch? I'm on MAME 0.215 standalone and the Tape menu is right above File Manager in the MAME menu. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm not sure Appple II cassettes self boot, so you might have to load to DOS 3.3 first and than load your cassette. Edit: Do you have some cassette only software? I ask because cassette loading works but is obviouskly very slow.
-
Did you get it working with Daphne and Singe games, or just Daphne? (Singe = Mad Dog McCree for example)
-
Daphne doesn't have built in support for bezels and LB doesn't provide that functionality, so you will have to use RocketLauncher for Daphne if you want bezel support. It does work and LB will call Rocketlauncher so it appears to launch from LB like any other platform.
-
Thanks, this launcher works great. I'm using the English translation patch, but there are two buttons that aren't translated when configuring inputs and seems all the jaguar buttons are covered. Anyone know what these two inputs are? Edit: Another doh moment, Pause and Option.
-
The current samples will be missing some of the older samples you need for older versions of MAME. For example, you may have set qbert, but within that zip file, older versions have more files. Best to stick with sets that match your version.
-
It also varied based on the samples you used. There were several improved samples from Twisty I believe that sounded better.

MAME is very flexible in regards to rom location and doesn't care where they are. If you already have a split set or a least a partial set, you can try the following if downloading a new set isn't an option. Create a secondary folder beside your current MAME rom folder and add only the roms you want to import into LaunchBox. For example akarnoidu.zip if the want the US version. Leave all the parent roms in your current folder. Make sure in your Mame.ini the rompath is set to both those folders. (You can set this through MAME's UI as well) In Launchbox just import the folder you made with your games, and should work fine. (Assuming you have the required roms needed for each game)
-
The only 2 options are to save a per game option file for every Apple II game, or to add loading a custom Retroarch.cfg to your command line options and in that Retroarch.cfg file point to a different Retroarch-core-options.cfg. (With boot to CLI enabled) It works but it’s a bit ugly. Unfortunately there isn’t a per directory options override.
-
Not really sure what you are talking about here. I use command line MAME, took my controller.map file, downloaded MAME64UI, put my map in ctlr folder in MAME64UI folder and selected it in UI. Ran a game and checked in log file and it was ready and applied as expected.
-
If you put your controller map into the ctlr folder in MAMEUI64, it will appear in the GUI under Controllers->Defaiult input layout to use.
-
I’ve been testing directly with Retroarch from the command line to bypass Launchbox first. To eliminate Apple II machine specifics like that, I only kept the Apple2.xml hash file and associated software list. The newest Retroarch also has a config option to start in CLI. You likely have to enable that now, but I still haven’t had success.
-
It's the same here. My guess is there is some extra complexity because for Apple2 there are multiple software lists, unlike consoles like A5200. I've been testing various configurations, but nothing in the console output from Retroarch is indicating a specific problem yet.
-
Impossible to answer because too many variables: screen size, monitor, your preference, pc specs,... All I can say is I use Lordmonkus’ HLSL on my Windows machine, and CRT-geom on my less powerful Raspberry PI and Mac Mini. So happy with both.
-
I don't use Retroarch for MAME, but I tried running the latest MAME core (0.214) following this guide: https://docs.libretro.com/guides/softwarelist-getting-started/ (Using Method 1, Method 2 should like a lot of work) and it seem to load OK once the hash file was put in RetroArch/system/mame but it promptly locks up my PC completely. Not really work the hassle VNCing in to check what's going on. Is there a specific reason to use Retroarch for MAME? SHaders?
-
Yes very subjective and you can waste a lot of time tinkering per game. i switched to Lordmonkus’ HLSL settings from above awhile back and have been happy with them.
-
Do you have your roms in the default rom folder in the MAME folder? You can set your rom directory wherever you want on that same screen under Configure Options but the default is roms folder in MAME folder. (Make sure you save configuration if you change it)
-
I tried adding redirection to the command line arguments as well, but because LB always adds the file name as the last argument, it doesn’t work.
