XBOX 360 4 Player cfg file for MAME 0.252 ?

[Creezz67]

Does anyone know how to fix this cfg file (see attached) so it works with MAME 0.252 ?

All working fine for previous MAME builds all the way up to MAME 0.251, but now Start + Select not working (lots of changes were done on MAME 0.252)

Tried fixing, but can't find the right button combination that works.

I am hoping the person that created it all those years ago will see this post (or someone with the skills to fix it obviously)

Thanks in advance

ps, All working fine once Coin + Start pressed on keyboard.

"Joy # Select" has been renamed to "Joy # Back" in the current MAME input menu

This might be bad, VERY bad!

You might be able to fix it by using a find and replace for:

JOYCODE_1_BUTTON7 -> JOYCODE_1_START

JOYCODE_1_BUTTON8 -> JOYCODE_1_SELECT

Replace for JOYCODE_1 to JOYCODE_4

I made identical remap cfg for 1941 in both MAME 251 and 252 and the resulting cfgs had identical values for the start/select buttons so our existing remaps might still work in 252.

I replaced all:

"_BUTTON7" with "_START"

"_BUTTON8" with "_SELECT"

See if that works

Start + Coin working fine now, but the only thing not working now is the D Pad (analog working fine)

MAME 0.252 has completely messed this ctrl file up.

Can you use the D pad on 1941 with this ctrl file ?

Thanks

I will check later today and see if I can rename the dpad values.

Nice one

This looks tricky.

all DPAD values are changed to HAT(#)

Example:

JOYCODE_1_DPADLEFT -> JOYCODE_1_HAT1LEFT

Let's see if I can find and replace all the right text but it's a bit much.

If this doesn't work the whole XARCADE_XBOX360x4.cfg needs to be redone.

OK

I altered all instances of:

1_DPAD -> 1_HAT1

2_DPAD -> 2_HAT2

3_DPAD -> 3_HAT3

4_DPAD -> 4_HAT4

Let me know if that works.  If it doesn't, then I won't be able to "fix" the cfg.  Too much has changed in MAME and it will have to be completely redone.
