external controller - second joystick games

[Art-Cube]

Hi,

I am hoping you can help me. I love all the changes and have been pulling and running on iPhone and Apple TV.

I have a bluetooth controller (like and xbox controller) and can not figure out how to configure the second joystick for games like Defender and Crazy Climber and such.

The UI inside it very hard to switch settings (II understand it's part of the MAME lib). Is there a way to edit the settings via and editor?

I am a software developer and technically, I can handle that if someone can point me in the direction. There must be a website for the original lib?

Thanks for all the great work, Rob www.CodeFarmer.com

You can run the game (ie Defender) Hit option and choose MAME Menu Then choose “Input (This Game)” This will show you all the inputs for current game ....and you can remap them, be careful you can screw things up real good....

Then if you exit the game, MAME will save a cfg file with any remapping you did, you can edit that file, or most importantly delete it to restore default mappings.

You can get access to the cfg file via...

• Files.app on iOS
• iTunes on a PC
• web browser (if you Start Server from MAME4iOS Settings)

I looked at the inputs that Defender wants, it only uses 1 joystick, and 5 buttons. In a two player game, it is turn based.

Good luck.

Thanks very much. Yes, defender is single, bad examples.

What about Robotron or Crazy Climber? If you have never played those, I would recommend it, especially Robotron. But the graphics on Crazy Climber especially CC2 are awesome.

I'll try the cfg file. I write iOS apps for a living and that web interface in the project is awesome.

Thanks again, this is a great project and has introduced may kids to games I loved.

We’re you able to get anything to work by editing cfg files, or doing a reman in mameui?
