Reoder not Working in MAME #28

Open 4thkindenter opened 4 years ago

4thkindenter commented 4 years ago

MAME will only keep the order on player 3, 4, 5 generic controllers and my other devices are ordered fine. Player 1 and 2 sometimes are 1 and 2 but they change almost every time I launch. Sometimes they are 12, and 13 and other 14 and 15.

What kind of controller do you have assigned to players 1 and 2?

Does it work better if you order the controllers using their GUID instead of their name? (Assuming you're not already using their GUIDs.)

4thkindenter commented 4 years ago

They are all zero delay encoders which windows labels "generic". I am using the name and the GUID below. Player 3,4,5 are the same controller types with zero delay encoders and they remain in the same order and have been since I installed it. I just can't figure out why it won' work with player 1 and 2.

You should only use the name or the GUID, not both. What happens if you just use the GUID?

4thkindenter commented 4 years ago

I just tried that and the results were the same. Player 1 is joy13 (I don't even have that many devices connected) and player 2 is joy14

Would you copy / paste your devorder.ini file into a comment here so I can look at it?

; In this section write the names or GUIDs of your controllers ; in the order you want them to be detected, one per line. ; Make sure any names exactly match the name printed in the ; Game Controllers control panel or in DeviceLister.exe, ; including any capital letters and punctuation. If you use ; a device's GUID instead of its name, make sure the GUID is ; enclosed in curly braces, just like in DeviceLister.exe. ; Example: ; vJoy Device ; Controller (XBOX 360 For Windows) ; {01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcdef}

[hidden] Controller (XBOX 360 For Windows) {dc696f30-1b7d-11e9-8007-444553540000} Controller (XBOX 360 For Windows) {e75b49c0-4347-11ea-8001-444553540000}

; In this section, write the names or GUIDs of controllers ; that you want to be hidden. Again their name must exactly ; match the name printed in the Game Controllers control ; panel or in DeviceLister.exe, and GUIDs must be in the ; same format as above. ; Example: ; Wireless Controller ; {01234567-89ab-cdef-0123-456789abcdef}

[visible] ; In this section, write the names or GUIDs of the controllers ; that you want to be the only controllers which are visible. ; If this section is not empty, then all controllers not listed ; in it will be hidden. If this section is left blank, then it ; will have no effect and only the controllers in the [hidden] ; section will be invisible. (This does not affect keyboards, ; mice, and other pointing devices.) ; Example:

[ignored processes] ; In this section, write the names of processes you want ; devreorder to ignore so that the order and visibility of ; their controllers are not changed, as though devreorder is ; not installed. Matches are not case sensitive. Be sure to ; include the file extension as well. ; Example: ; steam.exe

I had to do a restart and they are now joy1 and 2, but that happens sometimes and after a few launches they change again. Its like the reorder for those 2 won't stick

4thkindenter commented 4 years ago

Just as I suspected player 1 and 2 have reordered for no reason. The computer has been on, without any restarts and randomly they are now joy 13 and 14.
