Goochman Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Ok Ive made some prgoress since my initial email setup chain. There are about 5 folders where it seems stuff is loaded into (/etc, /usr, home,..........) Anyhow - Im just about set except I cant seem to get my keyboard mapped properly. I have a HotRodSE controller board. It is not quite the same as the current MAME defaults. On windows I have a hotrodse.cfg file which maps everything nicely but for some reason I cannot get MAME nor QMC2 to recognize this............I manually changed the Player 1 controls in MAME to see if I could find some file that changed but had no luck so if anyone can help me get my keyboard file mapped I would appreciate it! Here is what I have configured so far: /etc/mame/mame.ini $HOME/.qmc2/qmc2.ini Inside this file the following is set: Configuration\Global\keymap_file=/usr/share/games/mame/ctrlr/hotrodse.cfg One fix I did figure out with regard to poor performance - in the mame.ini file the following parameters were set to no multithreading so I changed this to a 1 and I added them to the qmc2.ini file and the emulator runs alot faster now: Configuration\Global\multithreading=1 Configuration\Global\numprocessors=auto Any help/tips appreciated!

Goochman Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Ok of course I make a small amount of progress after finally posting a msg. I found the default.cfg file for MAME in the $HOME/.mame/.cfg directory. I copied the contents of my hotrodse.cfg file there and started QMC2. Everything worked great on the first game. Everything worked great on the 2nd game. Unfort when I launched the 3rd game nothing worked - I looked at the default.cfg file and MAME had reset the file.............. Any idea why that might happen? Also still trying to figure out why I can pass my keyboard file directly to MAME during launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arbee Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Hi Goochman, In general you'll get the best Linux, Mac, and QMC2 support on the official SDLMAME/QMC2/MESS forums at forums.bannister.org. Rene, the QMC2 author, posts there often for instance. That said, it's a good idea once you get a config that works to chmod the .cfg file to read-only for safety, and I don't quite understand what you mean by "keyboard file".
