Help! Lr-Mame2003 Coin Buttons Not Mapping

[BrockBoyts]

@dankcushions
Would it be better to configure the hotkeys in the auto generated confi for the Xin-Mo joypad instead of hardcoding it in all/retroarch.cfg?

[dankcushions]

/all/ as far as I know.

could you paste the contents of it?

Ok. So I was able to get the "mode" and "exit" buttons working out of my four white navigation buttons. In the all/config file there was a lint of text that said "enable_hotkey_btn = alt". Removing it's hashtag caused the hotkey to work.

How do I get the "menu" and "play" buttons to work if they are connected to player 2 on the xin mo. They worked with GameRoomSolutions custom configs. Was it their custom es_input.cfg that made that work?

Here is my all/retropie.cfg:

I have no idea why the text I pasted from my retarch.cfg file is all messed up. Is there a way to paste it and it doesn't look so big and all the hastags go away?

you should use markdown for a code block as per https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

i've fixed it for now :) reading it now...

@BrockBoyts
ok so here's a problem:

input_enable_hotkey_btn = alt

input_enable_hotkey_btn = 9

what's going on here? you have 2 btns set to hotkey (alt isn't a joystick btn so that will confuse the hell of it - remove this line). i presume you only want the latter set.

@dankcushions

Thank you. I made that change and the hotkey and exit emulator is working now. I still need to find a way to make Player2_btn 11 (jstest 10) and player2_btn 12 (jstest 11) function as navigation buttons. The Play button (11) should launch games and the menu button (11) should pull up menus.

When I did the GameRoomSolutions config guide all the navigation buttons worked but the coins did not. Now that I have it setup right with the coins working I want to get the navigation buttons working. Like I said the left two are working now because they are player 1 buttons.

[dankcushions]

awesome! ok looking back at their guide you're safe to do their suggested changes to es_input.cfg - that only affects the emulationstation interface, not the coins etc. good luck!

@dankcushions

Okay, so now everything seems to working as I hoped it would. Phew...

I learned a ton and can't thank you enough for your help. I have a few other needs but I will start a new topic for those.

I will be sure to post any updates on this issue if any arise.

Thank you!

How did you assigned player 2 buttons 11 and 12?
