Coin ops controls on pc
- Thread starter Body pop
- Start date
I'll send you the proper PDF's in a zip file but basically depending what build you have look for a "restore defaults.bat" file. If you mess it all up this gets you back to how it was as it does what is in FIG A
Basically for mame it is working of the Default.cfg.
But normally you would want to run DEFAULT CONTROLS Unlocked (Customisable).bat
Look for this is an "Advanced Config" folder.
This allows the default.cfg to be customised.
To answer your question p1 start is 1 and select is 5 and coin is
<port type="P1_START">
<newseq type="standard">
KEYCODE_1 OR JOYCODE_1_BUTTON7
</newseq>
</port>
<port type="P1_SELECT">
<newseq type="standard">
KEYCODE_5 OR JOYCODE_1_BUTTON8
</newseq>
<port type="COIN1">
<newseq type="standard">
KEYCODE_5 OR JOYCODE_1_BUTTON8
</newseq>

If you want to use a wii sensor bar for the mame gun games I will send you some specific CFG files.
I can also send you an updated Default.cfg to allow 3 /4 players.
For the sensor bar ...
Venom28 19/08/2022.....
This pack contains replacement CFG's (for mame only) to be copied over the ones in
coinops collections
These will then enable you to play the items in the "Arcade Gunner" section using a Wii controller with a dolphin bar set on mode 2. This should be switched on before loading up coinops.
The folder to copy them CFG's in this zip file to is...
Coinops Collections\Emulators\mame\cfg.
Please note you will also need so set mame up to use a Lightgun
Easiest way is to load up the actual Mame emulator directly from
Coinops Collections\Emulators\mame\ e.g mame64.exe
Goto Device Mappings and set all the following to lightgun.
Lightgun device assignment
AD Stick device assignment
Mouse device Assignment
Please note as the wii controller points at the tv screen I have used the following set up
With the d-pad up facing the screen, in a gun holder.
+ inserts coins
Trigger is Trigger !!
Button A is where games have a grenade etc, also used to reload or jump in some games. For most games it is set so a re-load can be done from shooting away from the screen
Left D-pad sends a PLAYER 1.
- Exit back to coinops.
Out the box, collections has some of the mame config set to GUN1. When I set up my gun it registers everything as Gun 2 and that is what the CFG's in this zip file are set up to.
I guess if your gun registers to G1 instead a quick edit of the CFG's is probably easier !
Fixes
Please note Carnevil appears to want you to calibtate the gun
I have configured mame so you can do this without using the keyboard
On the gun , once the game has started press right D-pad, use up down on d-pad to get to "Gun Calibration". Press Right D-pad to enter calibration and follow the instructions. When it tries to set up gun 2 just press UP on D-pad a couple of times to set it. When all done navigate to exit using the D-pad and right D-pad to select it ! Game now works with gun rather than just shooting in middle of screen
Issues
I could not get the following games working any advise feel free to get in touch
Dead Angle & Empire City : Can move around fine with D-pad and gun but in mame it will not let you register the gun buttons for player 1 button 1 or 2, so cant shoot anything !
Naoimi games: House of dead 2 and Ninja assault: These are non mame and not worked out how to set gun up yet.
LA Machine Guns\The lost world Tab wont let me into mame so cannot set up the player 1 buttons.
Laser Ghost: I cannot work out how to exit the gun calibration screen which loads up first by default.
Lucky and Wild: Wont let you set the paddle using the gun so cant drive the car fast !
Steel Gunner 2: Despite insert coins being set in the CFG, I cannot insert them or start the game. Steel Gunner 1 works fine.
Enjoy.
