Emulator controls settings
-
Go into RGUI in-game while running the Megadrive emulator with Hotkey + Y, navigate to 'Controls' and assign the buttons. Then do 'Save core remap', so that it affects only your specific Retroarch core of choice.
-
@Amplifuzz just looking at that menu now. Its confusing as it states button options like B button (down) and Y button (left) and x button (top). I don't understand these.
-
Seems like you have some catching up to do then, go to the link Mitu provided :)
-
@Amplifuzz just a bit mate. I will have a look over the link. Thank you for your help though, much appreciated.
-
@mitu perfect. I will have a look through it. Thank you so much.
-
@mitu had a look through the page above. It makes perfect sense. BUT, when I come to change the controls on the quick menu, I cant get the correct buttons to correspond to me arcade controls. Is there something I am missing our do I need to update the emulator config file before using the quick menu?
-
@Lugzyboy82 I don't quite understand why you can't map your controls. Can you be more specific - maybe add a screenshot of the screen where you're having problems and what exactly doesn't work ?
-
@mitu tell me about it. Its so annoying. I have set my system controls in the config file which work perfectly. I will use megadrive as an example. I go into Robocop vs terminator and none of the buttons work. Not even the start button. So I plug in my controller on my pi unit and access the quick menu which works perfectly. I can amend these controls no problem at all. so I try and set up the controls to match my arcade machine buttons but it doesn't work. I have 6 buttons and I am trying to get the bottom row of 3 buttons to represent A, B & C on a megadrive control pad.
-
I still cant figure this out. My controls work perfectly in emulationstation but as soon as I go into an emulator they are non-existent and all over the show.
-
@mitu rather than going through the quick menu which seems to be an issue (I think because the quick menu thinks my controls are a retropad) is it worth actually changing the config file.
For example, currently in the config file it shows this:
input_player1_a = "x"
Can I change this to correspond to my Ipac settings?
-
All sorted guys. I have found that editing the actually config file for the roms is an easier approach for some reason. Thank you for your help.
