For people wishing JoyToKey worked in MAME (spoiler: I got it working)

[mrmattcoachman]

Not sure if it was something I did or if it just works now, but for me joyToKey wouldn’t work and no search offered a solution so here is what I have 

In the MAME settings (in the manage emulators) 

the default command line is set to 

-keyboardprovider dinput

Then I set up joytokey to auto-associate the MAME profile when MAME is launched

from here if you open MAME by itself the joytokey will not work

You have to open it from launchbox  

then you should be good!

 

edit: I’m also using MAME 224

Hi. Any chance you figured out how to program in a spinner, like for Tron? My tracball works for it but not the spinner. i can't see where in joytokey it would go.
