Forece Feedback MAME - Exiting Controller Issue


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hoping someone has managed to figure this one out. 

I have managed to successfully get FFP Arcade Plugin working with MAME using the provided github instructions. It's awesome, the controller rumble adds a bit more to games like Alien 3. 

The only way i have been able to get FFP Arcade Plugin working via Launchbox is to edit the MAME emulator's default command line parameters (within Launchbox) by removing "-keyboardprovider dinput".

The default Launchbox running script is in place for MAME.

All Roms launch fine, including all buttons using my xbox elite series 2 controller. However, when i try to exit a Rom through either "start + select" or using the pause screen, which in my case is "Select + A" and select/press exit game from the menu nothing works it returns back to gameplay. 

The only way to exit a game is by pressing the escape key on the keyboard, which isn't ideal. 

I've set the FFP Arcade Plugin for Flycast, Segal Model 1 & 2 and this issue doesn't exist with Launchbox it's only an issue only for MAME. 

I believe, with the little knowledge i have, Launchbox is relient upon the "-keyboardprovider dinput" in the derfault command line paramters for the MAME Emulator to send instructions such as Esc. 

Has anyone establsihed a work around for this issue? or could suggest one. It would be great to have this Plugin seamless with LaunchBox and BigBox as its excellent. 

Thankyou.
