azz09 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Hi, So I have Launchbox running with RA on Windows 10, ver 1.8.4, works fine for the most part but I am noticing that Mame 2003 plus is not picking up my input mapping. I have everything for Player 1 and 2 setup in RA under "Settings - Input". I also confirm the input settings look fine when launching a game and going into "Quick Menu - Controls" But when I press TAB in Mame, go to "Input (General)" it does not match up. I thought RA was supposed to 'hand' Mame-2003-plus all the controls, so I don't have to set anything in Mame itself? A good example, for Player 2 Up/Down/Left/Right in the Mame "Input (General)" it lists 'r f d g' for up/down/left/right. I never set that anywhere I know of, it almost seems it is using keyboard controls now for this core for player 2. I have tried to delete nvram files under saves, cfg files, core overrides, been honestly working on it for 3+ hours and I am SURE there is something easy I am missing. OH - and I have tried under RA "Quick Menu -> Options" once in a game to set "Legacy Remapping" to OFF vs ON. Does nothing. Would appreciate any help, even if it means having to set Mame -> TAB -> Input area for all controls, but again I thought that was the big reason to use RA so you don't have to do that. Thank you!

azz09 Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 Just noticed one more thing - tried to play with Input Interface under Options, not sure this means anything? (BTW I am using Ultimarc iPAC connected to Joysticks and buttons, a standard setup. So I went into: "Quick Menu -> Options -> Input Interface" If I set to Keyboard, nothing works including my actual keyboard (no TAB in Mame, etc.) If I set to Retropad, nothing works If I set to Simultaneous, then joysticks / buttons work like normal but again mapping is off.

genkk Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Hey, I know it's been awhile.. but have you figured this out? I'm in the same situation (iPac setup), and I can't seem to get Retroarch and MAME to work together. Is it because we're basically using 2 keyboards?? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

azz09 Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share Posted May 26, 2022 genkk - sorry for the delay. So I ended up actually ditching Retroarch completely, I had nothing but issues with it and although the concept is great it was not worth the frustration. I now run MAME itself (I can find the exact version if you like) and just plug in global controls in MAME and maybe tweak individual games where needed. 100% easier and works every single time. Yes you would need to manage controls for each emulator - and tedious if you have a ton of emulators, but since 98% of what I play is in MAME it's not a big deal. Also you are just setting up controls 1 time so still better in long run (instead of Retroarch). Anyway - wish I had better news for your Retroarch issue, good luck!
