Didde3000 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Hi! I have installed Mameui64 and it works with every game. When I run it in windows I have a controller option for xbox 360 config. And when I launch a game in windows the controller works. However I want to run the games from Launchbox, and when I do that the controller sets to default in mame and the xbox controller doesnt work! Does anyone have a solution for this?

neil9000 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Have you tried setting it up in mame with a game loaded? Just load a game then hit tab on your keyboard, and go to "input (general)" and set your buttons in there. As you will see under that option is a also a "input (this machine)" which will do what it say's and change the buttons for just the loaded game, i use this to change my buttons in fighting games as the layout is often different.

Didde3000 Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) Hi Mate! That way works, but I will have to do it every time I enter a machine, I would like to skip my keyboard when I am using Launchbox.

neil9000 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 You shouldn't have to do it everytime, it should just be set and leave as long as you set it in the general it will apply to all games. Also if you wanted you can set the tab button to a controller button so no need for a keyboard, i have it on UP on my dpad as i use the analogue stick in mame on my controller. I don't need the keyboard at all to change settings in mame with a game loaded, i do it all with my controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didde3000 Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 In General I cant set Coin for player 1, etc.I have to do it "for this machine" and that doesnt save. And I cant set a button on my controller for "tab" since tab is not listed in general controllers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didde3000 Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 What emulator are you using Neil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I'm using the command line version of mame, but it's the same regardless. For player 1 start and coin entry you need to go to "input general" then "other controls" at the bottom of the list. To change the tab button to a controller button, go to "input general" then "user interface" then change the "config menu" to the button of your choosing. You will also need to set up down left and right here to navigate the menu's and also set the "ui cancel" button as that is what you need to exit the config screen.

When I am in the mamemenues (inside launchbox) I still have to press enter on my keyboard to enter selections, I would like to have this on Button A, so I dont need the keyboard at all=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
