How to override keyboard mapping with a completely different keyboard character (neogeo)
-
Hello all,
I am using NeoGeo and several of the games have an "Insert Coins" message on their front screen. I have a button mapped to SELECT (or is it START?) and that works well.
However, I also have a specific player 1 "Insert Coin" button on my arcade that maps to keyboard numeral "5", and another for player 2 (6). This is the default mappings for MAME I believe.
I'd like to configure NeoGeo so that I can also press the "Insert Coin" button (ie: "5" or "6") - is this possible?
Thank you in advance!
Cheers,
Brent -
@brenthunter2005 here is the Retropie GitHub documentation, see if this help:

The problem I had was that I didn't know what the "Insert Coin" mapped to. I discovered (from Google) that it's the SELECT button. Once I knew this, I could edit the retroarch.cfg in the configs/FBA folder and added the following line: input_player1_select = "num5"
Sorted.
Thank you.
PS: I also tried adding input_player2_select = "num6", but it looks like it only accepts P1 setting.
