grayed out controller settings
#278141 - 03/04/12 09:15 PM


I am interested in understanding why in my Mame UI32 the game controller settings under Input (this game) are grayed out. For example, in Frogger P1Up is set to KbdUp or Kbd 8 but KbdUp or Kbd 8 is grayed out. (My brother initially set up my games in Mame for me. He taught me enough to maintain my system and customize some settings.) I did ask him but he did not know why. I want to know more about this because I have discovered that anytime my Mame controller settings are grayed out this controller function will not work with my ArcadeX. For example, in Frogger I cannot move forward when using ArcadeX however I can move forward when I play the game on my PC or laptop. I would like to be able to fix these grayed settings so the games are functional with my ArcadeX. Other than the games with grayed out settings ArcadeX is working perfectly. I am looking forward to any help that can be offered.

You mean x-arcade right? Use a ctrlr.ini file for it. Read this:

I don't think the knowledge will help to fix your problem, but the settings that are greyed-out are simply not currently set to the para-default settings. I.e., If the general setting does not match the mame default, it will be grey-out. If the game setting does not match the general setting, it will be greyed-out.

In my book, greyed = good, because custom is good.

Thank you for answering that for me, it is good to know even if it did not solve my problem.

Yes, I did mean X Arcade. The site you sent me too looks promising, hopefully it is not too much for this neophyte. Thanks for your help.
