Mame + Controlblock + Joysticks
-
Hi everyone!
I'm in the process of making my own portable arcade machine, and bought 18 buttons (8 + 8 + 2 players) and 2 joysticks.
I added a random button for the switch "coin" on the controlblock.All my inputs work fine in retropie, I can configure them, and it works perfectly.
The problem happens when I launch a game on MAME. The joysticks are ok, but the buttons I have to hit on aren't the same I defined when on the retropie system. Still, this problem doesn't keep me from playing, but I would like to resolve this issue...The real problem is that my "1 player" button is not recognized, and same goes with "coin" button. I have to use the keyboard for these purposes.
If anyone has solutions for me, I'll be glad to read it :D
Sorry for any mistakes, english isn't my native language

What verison of retropie are you running? There are known issues with the coin button in previous versions. 3.7 runs well and mame-mame4all is pretty good for most roms (in the 0.37... Rom set). Most of the emulators also have a sub menu out side of retropie. Try hitting tab on the keyboard. There also might be an issue with retroarch and this sub menu conflicting.

Hi!
Hitting "tab" while ingame resolved my problem.
I was able to remap all the buttons (coin, player 1) and am thinking about mapping buttons to the escape and tab keys too.Thx for everything.
