Hyperspin/rocketlauncher with xpadder

[gec5741]

Hi guys,

 

I'm planning to build a cabinet in time but until then I'm trying to get things setup and working with all the bugs worked out.  My big struggle has been controls so I need some expert advice.  I'm going to try and break down what I want to do and I'm pretty sure I can't be the only one to want this type of setup so I'm hoping to figure out the best way to achieve this.

 

Right now I have an Xarcade tanks stick with track ball.  This right now basically just mapps keyboard commands which I then map to controls within my emulators.  I also have 2 usb NES controllers I ordered online for like 8 bucks a piece.  I am mainly using mame and retroarch for now as my emulators.  For the mame (classic arcade games) I plan to really only use the control board like a real arcade cab.  So for the usb nes controllers I am using a version of Xpadder to map the buttons of the controllers to keyboard keys.  My plan was to use the same main buttons and controls that the tank stick uses so within the emulator the setup will be the same for either the tank stick or a usb nes controller. 

 

For instance player one I use up arrorw, down arrow, etc, Z, X as the main buttons.  I use these for both the tank stick and usb nes controller.  Player 2 I use keypad 8 for up, keypad2 for down etc, then n,m for a and b.   In theory whether I use the tank stick or a nes usb controller they both work. 

 

Now when I have the cabinet built I want it so this all runs smoothly and without issue or need to go into the Pc and make sure xpadder is running and loading the default profiles.  Also I want to not have the usb controllers always plugged in so while in hyperspin if someone decides to play NES and then plug in a usb controller or both they are recognized by hypersin/rocketlauncher and they just work.  In order for that to happen do I need to get xpadder configured correctly within rocketlauncher?  I saw areas to do so but it was very confusing to say the least. 

 

I hope this all makes sense!
