controllerremap

[KMHamel]

Has anyone use the controllerremap program to fix the problem of random usb assignment? I just added two u360 joysticks and now windows screws up mame.

This program really works with mame! Once I get it setup with hyperspin i'll put a copy of the script here for others.

Where can I find this program? I have this issue with my Aimtraks.

here is a link

for hyperspin:

run controllerremap as a startup program than add the -crtlr myarcade parameter to mame.

You can name your cfg file anything, I named mine "myarcade.cfg"

remember to delete the default.cfg

I'll give that a shot, thank you!

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. ControllerRemap works perfectly outside of HS, but when I add it to the HyperHQ startup, I get nothing. Here is what my settings look like in HQ:

Startup Program: E:\ControllerRemap.exe

Params: -ctrlr MyArcade.cfg

Winstate: HIDDEN

According to the HS Log, here is what I have

I thought it seemed legit, but the correct code to put in a DOS window with ControllerRemap is

mame term2 -ctrlr MyArcade.cfg

Any ideas?

After a few cups of coffee and staring at the code, I realized what the problem was.

ControllerRemap.exe should be in the Startup programs for Hyperspin, but with no parameters.(I had previously put the parameter under the Startup program)

Under the MAME wheel, the parameters should be set similar to the DOS setup

-ctrlr MyArcade (with no cfg on the end)

I also removed the ".zip" parameter from HS, and presto, the game works perfectly now.

Check your log.txt in Hyperspin, it will show you how the system is reading the configurations. I made HS do exactly what a DOS prompt would do.

Hope this helps anyone who is attempting the same!
