Force LR-MAME2003 to use Spinner (i.e., instead of Joystick)
-
@aechadwick use advanceMame.
-
@jonnykesh right?? that would be the easy way! but advanceMAME doesn’t cooperate nicely with RGBCommander, and I am loathe to give up control of my LED buttons. Figured i’d put in due diligence on LR-MAME2003 first.
-
I am able to access the MAME menu with the TAB key in the lr-MAME2003 core and set the controls as if it were a "standard" MAME build and set controls.
However I don't have a spinner (I have a "hacked mouse") so I'm sure I can't help much here..have you tried to TAB into the menu and change input for this game only? (it's the second choice from the top.)
If that does not work I have to say jonnykesh is right on this one.
-
the original asteroids cabinet didn't use a spinner so it's not able to understand an analogue input. advmame should be the same here.
-
@akafox the internal (TAB) menu comes up fine, i have modified several games’ controls that way, but it doesn’t recognize the spinner as input, for exactly the reason @dankcushions points out. Might be a lost cause here, but worth asking!
-
I would think by MAME's coding standards. If it didn't use a spinner for control then you're SOL on this one because it wasn't coded to use a spinner..thus as dankcushions pointed out:

I will have to test and see if it will even use a mouse for input..I doubt that as well.
-
@akafox let me know what you discover. No stone unturned.
-
So the mouse does work without any set-up. Just know that the game conroller/keyboard works with it as well.
Yes that is what I said.. "you can use all three of them at the same time.."
I guess the "RetoPad" Left/Right has no bearing on the device used..anything that can go left or right is a "retropad"...
I have to admit though that Advmame does a much better job of displaying vector games than lr-2003. I could fix it on a pc with stock mame..not sure how to do that with a lirbetro core.
-
@akafox lr-mame2010 displays like a vector monitor too.
-
well I guess running 2010 core on the pi with an old game like that might not be too bad..I'll try it thanks. :)
