Massatomic Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 @stigzler I am interested in this project, not sure if anyone got back to you but I saved your spreadsheet and added in the launch box platform names, there could be a few systems that I was not sure about but I did put a few notes on the sheet. I have not played with the program yet but is it able to show an xbox controller or the like? another cool feature would be if it could pull the controller information straight from mame and retroacrh!

stigzler Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) Nice one fella. Send me your gmail and I'll give you editing rights to the sheet. So lunchbox has standardised names? Yes, you can setup any controller you like. It basically just maps buttons and controls to functions. If you dig around in the YouTube vids, I thinks there's one showing an example of how to set up an Xbox controller. Mame doesn't need cpwizbiz, as cpwizard works with it out the box. You mention retroarch... Does this have a games controls database or something? Or is it just controllers? If so, any idea where these are kept? Thanks for the contribution. If you're interested in helping out further, let me know and I'll add you to the project members.... Edited June 5, 2017 by stigzler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallpr24 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Hey guys, new to mame here. Will this app help me with my issue? I'm using mame0.816ui. My Xbox 360 controller wireless keeps losing the config in Mame. I thought it was happening when I launched mame without my controller turned on but tried it again today and lost the config again even though the controller was on. I changed the config file to be read only, not sure what else to do. any suggestions. I have mame and roms in the root of c drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stigzler Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Errr, cpwizbiz wont help with this, but luckily for you, I also wrote an app that may help with this. You might be having the well known device id issue. Check the below.. forgive the broken image links... blame dropbox https://controllerremapgui.codeplex.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tallpr24 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 ok, so i just watched your video, i will try it tonight when i get home, do you happen to have a pre configure files for an xbox360 controller that i can import into your app? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stigzler Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Nope. Sorry, If you're a total newb to the hobby, then you may as well start as you mean to go on. Step 1: Do your research. You need to make sure it is the device ID issue first. Lookup "ControllerRemap" on BYOAC (google) to read more about it. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallpr24 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 ok, so im stuck on the video, on 3:39. I can click the Detect button because its grayed out. Im sure it is the id issue im having. already done my research Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of Google-foo looking for a Pause theme to display controller mappings brought me to some of your posts about a plugin to handle this. Is this still on the cards? And do you have any rough ideas on a release date? I would be a very willing beta-tester if you needed one. Currently looking at creating images to display on a Pause menu that will show game controls but, reading some of your ideas, it seems you are streets ahead of this?

stigzler Posted October 21 Author Share Posted October 21 (edited) Funnily enough I've just moved onto working on this again. I'm afraid it's no small task to do the full system, but am currently working on just getting custom layouts working on a per platform basis, so you would, at least, be able to generate/display images for each platform (eg if on a cab, showing which cab buttons map to which controller buttons). There's a rather long winded vid here that shows you the prototype I built in action. Skip to the end to see controls in action. Will deffo need some help with this project when get it up and running, as there's a lot of stuff that needs doing to make it a community resource, beyond data entry of controls for all games, so may have to take you up on it 😜 Edited October 21 by stigzler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny T Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Looks like it would be an amazing project if you succeed with it. Would be a huge difference to be able to play games knowing all the controls etc. and have everything automatically generated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been working on showing game controls on it ever since! The missing and crucial link in emulation imho, although Ben Baker did an awesome job with CPWizard. It will happen before I die... 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
