Deezdrama Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 First post here. Long story short since I typed out a book and lost it a minute ago. I just finished my first cab... A couple years ago I setup a harddrive with hyperspin, full mame romset, a few other systems... I remember even paying to download the artwork etc.... Well ive forgotten all I had to learn to get that drive running right and just now got my cab done so am running into problems. Im running a 4 player cab, win 7 64, quadcore 3ghz, 4gb ram, gtx 660 Using an ipac4.... I finally got all my controls installed, installed ipac4, installed harddrive and everything was working great. Players 1,2, and 3 all worked but player 4 didnt seem to be mapped in mame. So i remapped all the controls to make sure everything was set. I dont know what happened but im getting the mame loading splashscreen popping up and cant get rid of it. Ill load a mame game and play a while and seems everytime I exit a game this loading screen pops up. I cant get rid of it by alt tabing or in task manager. The loading screen pops up and im stuck on it while I can hear another instance of HS running in the background. I havnt changed the ipac4 keys or anything else. Im clueless and going crazy.... 4 months of work on the cab and for 2 days now cant get this figured out. Ive forgotten everything about hyperspin since I compiled the drive. Do i have a key mapping conflict or something else? I know this drive worked great when I put it up a year or so ago. I dont remember the best way to map keys and never had an ipac before so that makes it more confusing as this is my first cab. Are there any guides for setting up key bindings for ipac4,hyperspin,mame? I need to add bindings for my 4 admin buttons too and dont know how. Sorry but im just overwhelmed right now, any help is appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalzoic Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 To configure your keybinds for the iPac you just use the Winipac program it came with. If you don't have it you can download it here. Just make sure you grab the right version (2015 or pre-2015) http://www.ultimarc.com/download.html For the MAME splash and multiple Hyperspins running it sounds like you have your paths or RocketLauncher/HyperLaunch configured wrong. Maybe someone else can chime in on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deezdrama Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 Thanks for replying. Is it routine to have to map out an ipac4's keys when you first set a system up? I was under the impression that they were setup already with the default mame keys out of the box. Mine didnt come with software... I will download it from ultimarc and check it out. I have the usb ipac4 so pretty sure its the new one. That hyperspin loading splash screen didnt start popping up and giving me problems untill I went into mames options with tab and remapped all the keybindings so thats what made me wonder if it was some conflict or something. Basically im using the default ipac4 keybindings. Then in mames tab menu.... I went through each 4 players and remapped the keys for each players up,down,left,right directions and buttons 1-7 for players 1-2, and buttons 1-4 for players 3-4. After doing that the hypersplash screen started giving me problems. One other thing I thought of is.... I think I might of compiled this hard drive using 32bit windows when I set it up. Now Im running windows 7 64. Would that cause issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalzoic Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Since MAME has separate exe's for 32 and 64 bit versions I'd guess that's a problem. IPac's should come setup with default MAME controls, and I believe it uses the P1 button as your shift button by default, but you'd still want to set up all your admin controls and all your shifted controls through Winipac. Since it happened after you re-mapped MAME it sounds like you might have a key combo or shift-key combo that is now conflicting with MAME. What do you have setup as your exit key in MAME? P1? P2, 3, 4, coin? What's set as your exit key in Hyperspin/RocketLauncher? Which button is your iPac programmed to use and what is it actually set as? Those are things I'd double, then triple check.

Deezdrama Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share Posted November 8, 2015 Went through the ipac configure utility and remaped everything. Then did the same in mame. Everything in mame is running good now except maybe 1 out of 50 games wont load and gets stuck at the fade loading screen but those could just be bad roms. Now I just need to figure out how to remap controls for every other system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalzoic Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Now I just need to figure out how to remap controls for every other system You don't do anything special. You just set each individual emulator to match your controls using the in-emulator settings.. Some are weirder than others (like some of the Sega arcade systems). PC games you map to each individual game using the in-game settings. etc... If something isn't working out try to re-bind controls using AutoHotKey with RocketLauncherUI's Keymapper tab.
