anyone able to set control panel to adjust mame volume
Mr. RetroLust replied to DannyShane's topic in Noobs
I use Controller Companion to map keys to a controller, very recommended piece of software! It can also map a key combo to adjust system volume which works great. -
Thanks so much man, very good to hear Yep I am having the same struggles like you, basically I'm a very OCD completionist beyond help, I feel a very strong urge to create any images as good as I can for every game but then again I can't, as much as I wish to, so I try to find a middle ground, for now my plan is to get at least a 3D box for as much games as possible in the mame arcade set, this requires a lot of googling to search for those obscure images and fixing them up, searching and cutting out the logos if needed as well. I also want to finish the arcade cabinets project and after thats done finish up the Neo Geo marquee set. On the side I also want to go through all mame marquees and search and create the highest quality possible up to 3840 pixels wide. After this is all done I like to create photo realistic bezels in 4k for most arcade games lol its a bit crazy and I'm not sure if I'll be able to get this far as I have to add many more other consoles and computers to my collection as well. Damn I really hope my hdd wont crash, I never worked with a such latge quantity of data before so I guess the risk of this happening is far more realistic than before, will have to create backups. I'm also deleting games I don't like from the Mame set including slots/mechanical/consoles etc., I'm at letter P atm, going through them one by one, it's quite relaxing to do so, around 3000 to go as I haven't merged them (forgot the name of the method when sub merge them with other titles) -
my 4 player cabinet - i feel like a kid again. lol

Looking great! T-molding is being used a lot for the edges of the sides of a cabinet. On top of control panels they use plexi to protect the artwork, but I'm no expert on this matter though. -
Thanks! Is the website also updated? I see coins and mushrooms, which is great
-
Thanks brother very good to hear If you guys see any mistakes please let me know, I already found two wrong file names in the first pack which will be corrected in the next update pack.
-
Glad you like It'll take a few packs to complete though, Mame showed me multiple times that it's always larger than I think lol but I'll get there
-
Added pack "FGHIJK" (remember: missing boxes will be updated through update packs in the future)
-
@Colorman3605 You can change it anyway you like, if you want to see only certain images for a particular game you can rename the images or delete images you don't want to see for a game.
-
That's because multiple images set for one image category get randomized.
-
Awesome! Keep up the great work!
-
Update: I don't think I'll manage to finish the pack for Sunday, will be Monday or Tuesday. Another preview of a classic, in 4 variants. (Note: Not color corrected/optimized yet)
-
I love your work, will these be uploaded to the Launchbox downloads section?
-
Thanks bro I am collecting all the new and/or modified cover artwork to upload at a later point, it's a whole lot of stuff to add manually once done though I might need some help with this, I am uploading the Missink logo's though and some of the artwork in case where there wasn't any.
-
Update: Pack "FGHIJK" coming this Sunday if all goes well, including a lot of classics, here's a preview of some games and it's variants, in case you like/need the Japanese, official art or fan art version Including customized and cropped flyers (the last halloween poster put to good use!) and artwork. Ghost's 'n Goblins different versions: Ghouls 'n Ghosts different versions: And a special example, I found this flyer to be boring in mono color so I colored it using reference material of the cabinets, couldn't find the high res cabinet artwork so I just had to do this labor of love. Back to my childhood days, loved every minute of coloring this lol, took some time but I like the result: End result box: And loads more stuff, too much to show here, stay tuned for Sunday

Hey now, I liked Bubsy ? Best wishes to everyone for 2019 btw \m/
-
Yeah now I finally figured it all out, I chose guide as secondary bindings button to hold and it can do whatever I wanted it's awesome! Now I can finally adjust system volume as well by holding guide + up or down. Thanks again @Chadmando and @Dane this dinput setting might solve problems with other key mapping software in combo with Mame as well, this thread helped me solve it:
-
I want my rebellious MTV back, it was good.
-
I fixed it by changing keyboardprovider from 'auto' to 'dinput' in the mame.ini file: # # OSD INPUT OPTIONS # keyboardprovider dinput mouseprovider auto lightgunprovider auto joystickprovider auto Controller Companion now works with Mame, let the good times roll good sirs \m/
-
I see a change as well, the games become longer and more complex, amazing games non the less but I cant bring myself anymore to finish these epic journeys of 100s of play hours even though they are amazing works of art it takes a lot of time and therefor I didn't finish a lot of these games in the end, feeling I could have saved some bucks lol. I've grown more to short games now going back in time where you could beat a game in an hour or a weekend, excluding some rpg's ofcourse. Also it seems games are released in fast succession it feels a bit like overkill but it could be i'm just getting older.
-
Give me a saw and a piece of wood and I can promise you I will make it an ugly mess lol I'd rather buy something like a handheld trackball gamepad, I don't want to risk messing things up, time, cost but also size wise. I agree these forums are great, lots of helpful and friendly people! i'll tinker around with controller companion and auto keys at a later stadium, I need to read about it some more to understand it all I think.
-
I have tried toggling enable as well but it didn't make any difference, i'll dive into it at a later stadium when I have some more time.
-
Thanks @Chadmando I'll try this out soon and experiment with it. It would make sense indeed that Mame works differently with controllers as the guide button is mappable (is that the right english term?) in retroarch with the logitech F310 at least so I expect FC to work as well but Mame wouldnt with the F310 before as well. @neil9000 Thank you for offering help bro I hoped being able to map the guide button as a combo key with controller companion (edit: mapping guide button with controller companion for use in Mame), like holding guide and press R2 would save a game etc. For now I can do this with the select button but the guide button would be nice to use instead.
-
Thanks @Chadmando I really hope I can still do this with Mame and Companion as I don't want to many different software running in the background, I always try to minimalize these thing to make it less complex in case of errors cross software, input lag and system speed. @Dane you seem to have had success with this in Mame, any tips?
-
I wish they would sell those spinners or trackballs on a handy controller, i'm not a handy person in the DIY department. Thanks @Chadmando for Controller Companion, it looks very promising although I have to figure out a lot still and spend some time on it, I started off testing by changing the guide button to keyboard button "Tab" but it doesn't react in Mame while Tab is set to the bindings within mame to show the mame menu, any idea how to set this up? I did turn off all default bindings except for the guide button so maybe i did something wrong in that process. Basically I'd like to use the guide button in the future to hold and then press other buttons to activate things so it will be the exact same button combo's as in retroarch. Any advice or experiences on this program are welcome
