hi all, doing my final testing... i have a few obscure systems that i am running in MAME, bally astrocade, emerson arcadia, apf imagination, philips cdi. when i pause in LB, pause works fine but when i unpause, mame is minimized. this does NOT happen in BB. and the odd thing is, it doesn't happen with mame arcade games, only systems. can anyone else replicate?

just a search on here... youve helped enough

found the issue on this board... in case anyone else is banging their head, change the controller type from joystick back to retropad

great info... i tried setting up real wiimotes, save profile then under emulated, "connect the classic controller, set it up, seems to work fine. but using the toggle button, it only ever shows the xbox controller in the top left corner when the switch is made. i must be saving teh real wiimote config incorrectly? thanks for reading and for any feeedback. and i mean it, this board has been awesome and I have learned SO much!

i'm so close retro. and my excel sheet will be release SOON to the wild, if anyone wants to use it. here is an updated snip showing the add of original system/controllers i also added above / below controller sections where the user can add notes in the back end and have them appear.

you the best retro!

damn you are fast!!! Thanks retro

i think i set everything up right, "back" set as swap joystick, LB set to show keyboard. yet they dont seem to work! other specific controls i set up are working just fine. can anyone replicate? it's teh last button i need to set up before handing this machine off

can anyone turn these into transparent background PNGs? thanks!

hi all, im trying to add really controller images but its taking a while to find controller images with yea spars t backgrounds. anyone have any leads? im preferring an actual picture image if possible… any help is appreciated!

i'm not an artist but i'm pretty decent with excel. i'm creating a file that the user will dull in their controls on one sheet, then on the main sheet, select that platform to generate the below sample image. name the file, drop it in the pause theme "posterboxpause/media/controllers_overlay" folder and the image shows you your custome button layout.

after i clicked post, my brain said what you just said, but not as detailed thanks for the answer joe.

hi all, curious if there are "smart" pause screens to show controller buttons? i've seen a few that show an xbox controller but the images are static. if i have the buttons configured differently, then the static images don't make sense. is there anything out there that will go read a config file in order to show the controls as they are actually set up? thanks all!

thank you so much! lots to learn on this end. maybe it's NOT my cousin who's an idiot if i may ask, how many carts do you have for the aquarius? i'm sure it's a low number, just checking if i'm in the ballpark. thansk again retro!

you two are too much! thank you guys, sincerely! Machine is up and running and games are launching. was this machine keyboard only? i'm not seeing any joystick setups in the mame menu. thanks guys, again. EDIT: I am noticing games that have (basic) in the title aren't loading (mame tries to start and exits). is it one of these siuations where a basic cart also needs to be installed in a different slot? EDIT 2: seems to be tape images, CAQ's? i tried -cass in mame, mame starts, press enter to start, i get to a basic OK screen.
