Mame Light Gun Games: Do I need to calibrate all players?
-
@jiryn it was changed to L3 in 2003+. You can also press tab on a keyboard to open the menu or load any game, then open Retroarch menu-> quick menu-> options -> display mame menu.
It sounds like you need to configure things in the mame menu. You should first load a game in the core. Open Retroarch menu-> quick menu-> controls-> port 1 controls-> analog to digital-> none.
Then open the mame menu. Under input general, these will be the mappings the core uses by default. Note that you can map the user interface (UI) directions and buttons which will be used to navigate the mame menu.
Under input this game, these are the mappings the game is currently using. This will be the inputs that get used in the game.
A very important note, if you want to use the dpad and analog you must map both individually to each direction. This is best done under input general in the mame menu so it auto configs your games the way you prefer.
Once your controls are working, analog and digital. If you want to override the analog from snapping to center then you can load any game in the core, open the Retroarch menu-> quick menu-> controls-> port 1 controls-> analog to digital-> left analog

Thank you again!
I had to find a Keyboard to hook up to the system to get some of the configs working. (I almost never have it attached, I have this setup as an arcade machine)
Oddly the mame menu recognizes the D-pad, but not the Analogue Sticks. -
@jiryn map dpad and analog to UI under input general.
Mame2003 does not natively support analog so you'll need to use analog to digital after mapping your dpad.
Mame2003-plus does natively support analog
Make sure you're mapping (up dpad and up analog) to everything you want to be able to use either on.
