Custom input keys // Coin mode
  • Epyx
    Hello,

    i am using PiMAME 0.7.6 and it seems to work very well - good job :)

    But i have a few questions:

    1) Is it possible to configure custom input buttons and joysticks over the GPIO interface (2 pins for every button)?

    2) if i start "puckman" with AdvanceMAME it is always in the "Free Play" mode. I can change the settings via TAB -> Dip switches -> Coinage. I want to keep the coin option. Every time i restart AdvanceMAME it is set back to Free Play.

    - Thanks for every reply :)

    You can turn off free play in the /home/pi/.advance/advmame.cfg file.

    It is possible to use gpiokeys as an input and use a button connected to the gpio pins to trigger a coin. I don't have any writes up on how to do that, but yes it is possible.

    Thank you for your answer! The coin problem is solved ;)

    If someone has a good idea for configuring GPIO buttons it would be great.

    I want to add 2x4 buttons, 2x joysticks, 1+2 player button and a coin button :)

    Edit: But now i have another question :P
    Where are the highscore saved (from AdvanceMAME)?
