MAME Control Config- Helder PCB

Post by enemone » Tue Feb 28, 2017 8:26 am

All,

I was wondering if anyone has been able to get Helder's All-In-One PCB to work with MAME on the Gameboy Zero. I have been trying to edit the config file for the MAME-FOR-ALL emulator and was unsuccessful with getting the custom pcb to work correctly.

It works perfectly for all the other emulators that use the RETROARCH.CFG file to run the controls however, when I load MAME-FOR-ALL with a test game like metal slug, and I try to edit the GEN-Inputs I am only able to map the Start and Select buttons correctly. Pressing the up,down,left,right buttons for Player 1 controls does absolutely nothing to register my button presses.

I also tried to run an xbox controller off of the hubs on the back of his board and their buttons are registering either; my keyboard presses do however.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I finally got the BIOS to work so all my games run like Tekken, Metal Slug, etc, but now my biggest hurdle are the MAME controls!

Put your roms in the arcade folder instead of mame. then choose your game. It will then ask you which emulator to use. You'll need a keyboard plugged in to select, but select ir-mame4all. It will map your current controller to all arcade game by default. If you google, there's also a way to set buttons up in game, it's a key press keyboard shortcut. I don't remember it off the top of my head.

ALL,

I CONFIRM THAT @JERMZZ INSTRUCTIONS WORK WITH THE HELDER-ALL-IN-ONE PCB AS A WORK AROUND! MAKE SURE THAT YOU MAP YOUR KEYS CORRECTY IN THE EMULATION STATION UI BEFORE YOU MAKE YOUR EMULATOR SELECTION. IT WILL MAP ALL OF YOUR CURRENT KEYS.
