Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Optimized 2 Player Zero Delay Generic Game Controller USB to Joystick for MAME & Raspberry Pi 1/2/3 RetroPie DIY Projects by Billy Berry

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I hope this helps someone out there. Mapping buttons in Mame, PC emulation.

I modified Arcade1up cocktail table with Windows 10 Big Box setup. I thought K1-K10 could be in any order but I was definitely wrong. When using Retroarch with a Mame (2016) core as an emulator, Midway games such as NFL Blitz and NBA Hangtime showed in the key diagnostics that several key combinations were not registered. For example, I couldn't do turbo hotkeys in those games, which meant I couldn't push in NBA Jam or stiff arm in NFL Blitz. It turns out that this board shows K1 as RY- and K3 as RY+ when you go into Mame button mapping. It also shows K2 as RX+ and K4 as RX-. This would not be a problem unless you need to hold K1 and K3 or K2 and K4 at the same time. because that is the joystick assignment. This means that you cannot hold the joystick left and right at the same time. So my workaround is to just map buttons 1-6 with just a RX and RY, so I can press all six buttons at the same time without conflicts. So my key configuration, if anyone wants, for keys 1-6 is: K7, K9, K2, K3, K5, K6, which translates in Mame as A, B, RX+, RY+, L, R. My start button = K10 and coin button = K1. And I used L2, which is K8, as the back button for Big Box. The only issue I can run into is when I have to press the coin button with button 4 - I can't do that key combo at the same time. Hope that helps. So my workaround is just button mapping 1-6 with only one RX and RY so I can press all six buttons at once without conflict. So my key configuration, if anyone wants, for keys 1-6 is: K7, K9, K2, K3, K5, K6, which translates in Mame as A, B, RX+, RY+, L, R. My start button = K10 and coin button = K1.
