Mine is just a windows error popup box from mame, will send a pic tomorrow when i can, doesn't look like your pic though just that single line i quoted before.

Open the Windows Command Prompt from your MAME folder and start mame.exe. You'll get a verbose readout in that window, and MAME will start to load then close (no error popup window should appear [this time]). In the Command Prompt window, about the 2nd line up from the bottom should be that message ("Fatal Error:"). Hopefully the line above that will give some more clarity.

So the issue is you have some kind of syntaxical error in your ctlr file.

Can you post the complete contents of your that file? (Preferrably within quote or code tags)

I copy pasted JoeViking's:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mameconfig version=”10”>
   <system name=”default”>
      <input>
         <mapdevice device=”VID_046D&amp;PID_C24F” controller=”JOYCODE_1” />
      </input>
   </system>
</mameconfig>

Headrush69 · June 10, 2023

Your problem is that you have used smart quotations in your text file.

Not sure what editor you are using, but you need to turn them off. Standard quotations won't have curves in them.

Here is a corrected version to copy and paste as well:

Quote

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mameconfig version="10">
<system name="default">
<input>
<mapdevice device="VID_046D&PID_C24F" controller="JOYCODE_1" />
</input>
</system>
</mameconfig>

Appears that was my oversite. Never even paid attention to that. What's unfortunate is I copied 5thWolfs [in-line] text and pasted it into the 'code' formatting here when replying. The original in-line text appears fine, but when pasted, they come out as smart quotes. Note [to self] for future: pay attention to the quotations. 😊

Who hasn’t wasted time on simple syntax errors like that? I guess it the same reason writers have editors, you read what you know it should be and not what you wrote. 🙂

As a habit I don’t trust copying and pasting in web browsers, (At least on Windows), unless the paste as plain text option is available. I don't think it's right in the original post either... so you are forgiven. ☺️

5thWolf · June 11, 2023

So I copy/pasted your code and no more crash!! However It didn't seem to change the controller assignment. Going to double check the IDs and report back. Will also try the copy ID through MAME to see if it works.

Edited June 11, 2023 by 5thWolf

Headrush69 · June 11, 2023

If it's matching correctly it should show the number you assigned to it.

Running from a command prompt or from Powershell with the verbose option (-v) should show if it remapping correctly.

5thWolf · June 11, 2023

Ok so it definitely was something on the ID, most likely a mistake since the wheel shows up 2 times in USB Device Manager. Maybe I chose the wrong one or something. But..... I did test the copy past from MAME and it worked perfectly!!! It looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mameconfig version="10">
<system name="default">
<input>
<mapdevice device="Logitech G HUB G29 Driving Force Racing Wheel USB product_c24f046d-0000-0000-0000-504944564944 instance_2c2c8660-f0d1-11ed-8013-444553540000" controller="JOYCODE_1" />
</input>
</system>
</mameconfig>

This makes it a million times easier then looking for IDs anywhere else or in Windows!!!!! THANK YOU BOTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some devices can have multiple entries in Device Manager.

I try to keep my matching ID as short as needed. Although rare, I've seen a windows update that slightly changed the longer ID info.

As an example, I just match the following for my Logitech wheel

<mapdevice device="Logitech MOMO" controller="JOYCODE_2" />

Glad you got it working.

5thWolf · June 11, 2023

Well I am really glad you said that as for if anything happens I will take a peak at that then shorten. Just don't how I will with the 2 controllers that are the same exact name, # 1 & 2 in my last pic.

you would need to keep their names longer then, likely needing the instance ID to differentiate between them

So I ran into an odd issue. Was mapping everything since I got the forced order figured out. Every game was fine until I hit polposition 2. Its is mapping the #1 controller as #6!!! But when you go in-game nothing works because it's mapping as #6. I tried deleting the polpos2 settings file, but nothing.
Any one have any ideas? This is super strange. Not sure if there are other games but its consistent to that game. This did not happen till I implemented the controller file. But why all games are good but one is off?

5thWolf · July 17, 2023

Anyone have any ideas?
I was wondering if it might have to do with me initially not having having the controllers static when doing universal mapping in MAME for all games, then applying the the static controls?

The games' settings file (..\ini\polepos2.ini) might be telling it to load a different controller config file (on the ctrlr line), but I believe in the order of precedence, the games' configuration file (..\cfg\polepos2.cfg) will supersede. So you may try deleting both of those.

If Pole Position 2 is still acting up, and it's the only one doing that, the easiest (only?) thing to do is start the game, once loaded press Tab and go into the configure inputs section and set it up manually [for this one game]. It'll automatically save polepos2.cfg for you.

5thWolf · July 17, 2023

I already tried deleting the polepos2.cfg then programming the map again. It did the same thing. But I am going to try it gain just incase.
