Problem to assign default buttons in retromain.c

sergiobenrocha2 commented 8 years ago

I can't shift gear using a joypad in Super Monaco GP (smgp), it seems the 2 buttons shift buttons are not assigned there. ~~I can use B and Y retro buttons from the keyboard, which is weird since B is the break in this game.~~ it's the retrokeyboard buttons actually

~~How can we assign these buttons in the joypad? There are only 6 Buttons_mapping in the retromain.c~~ Seems it's not possible right now, there aren't general buttons assigned to shifters. You have to assign them in "Input (this Game)":

Shift Down: Kbd A Shift Up: Kbd Z

If I config it in the mame osd (smgp.cfg):

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- This file is autogenerated; comments and unknown tags will be stripped -->
<mameconfig version="10">
    <system name="smgp">
        <input>
            <port tag=":IO1PORTA" type="P1_BUTTON1" mask="16" defvalue="16">
                <newseq type="standard">
                    JOYCODE_1_BUTTON5
                </newseq>
            </port>
            <port tag=":IO1PORTA" type="P1_BUTTON2" mask="32" defvalue="32">
                <newseq type="standard">
                    JOYCODE_1_BUTTON6
                </newseq>
            </port>
        </input>
    </system>
</mameconfig>

OutRunners (orunners) has the same problem, Input (this Game):

P1 Button 1: Kbd SPACE --> shift up, should be retropad R P1 Button 2: Kbd LSHIFT --> shift down, should be retropad L P1 Button 3: Kbd Z --> change radio station (mega radio station) P1 Button 4: Kbd X --> change radio station (left) P1 Button 5: Kbd C --> change radio station (right)

After Burner II, general input:

AD Stick Z Analog Dec: Kbd A --> should be retropad L AD Stick Z Analog Inc: Kbd Z --> should be retropad R

Regarding general input:

<sergio-br2> I'm playing Super Monaco GP, I can see the Shift Down and Shift Up in the Input (this Game)
<sergio-br2> but I can't find these buttons in the general input
<sergio-br2> seems they are not any of buttons 1 to 16
<Tafoid> In the TAB menu -> Input (This Machine) they are listed as A and Z
<sergio-br2> but just in the "this machine"
<sergio-br2> I'd like to know what's the correspondent to general
<Tafoid> There is no global shifter assignments, no
<sergio-br2> there are for mahjong, but not to shifter... uh
<Tafoid> shifters are not always digital.. mahjong panels are

Special Criminal Investigation (World set 1), for some reason it's assigning shifter and turbo to the same key. The same thing happens with daytona
