I have set up my MAME so that it uses my USB gamepad, but I still have to press 8, et.c. to insert coins and choose player 1, etc. Yes, that gets annoying. :) That's all dandy, but I want to do it from the remote, since I have my freevo cheapo-PC-box behind the TV and want to avoid leaning over everything when I start a game. There is no way for Freevo to control or send commands to xmame, sorry. I wish this were the case. Someone would have to write a 'slave mode' - stdin control for xmame... this is how we control mplayer and xine. Howerver, you can setup your gamepad to do these things from inside xmame. While running press tab, it will bring up a menu and you can modify keys for indifidual or all games. Just modify they keys for coins and start for each player on their respective gamepads for all games and you will be set. :) I am also using USB gamepads... well, actually I am using some madcatz playstation 2 controllers with PS2 to USB adapters. These gamepads have loads of buttons so there is plenty of room for things like coins, start, pause, menu, etc. -Rob --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.

RE: [Freevo-users] Freevo MAME ponderings
Hit tab during the game and map the MAME functions to button presses on the gamepad. It should remember them for the next session.

The remote keypad is ideal for this, it would actually work instead of gamepad. I'm running freevo under fluxbox on a Mandrake 9.1, with a rather new checkout of MAME, and running xmame.x11 from the games menu. Anyone?? cheers, /PS --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program. Does SourceForge.net help you be more productive? Does it help you create better code?
