[SOLVED] PiMAME Menu Navigation with X-Arcade TankStick
  • I have finally figured out how to modify the PiMAME Menu so that it can be navigated with only the TankStick.
    I also edited the advmenu-****.rc files to use the left control key to ext AdvMenu.

    1. Removed the number keys as a menu item selection - since number keys are used in the TS joystick
    2. Added Player 1 key to select the menu item
    3. Added the TS Joystick controls to move up and down the list.
  • AdvMenu Menu Modification - Leave AdvMenu with another key (not escape)
    This mod will need to be done for all advmenu-****.rc files
    /home/pi/.advance/advmenu-*****.rc
    Find the line without quotes "event_assign esc esc"

    To not use the esc key, replace the second esc.
    event_assign esc lcontrol
    To add another key, add "or" with the name of the key.
    event_assign esc esc or lcontrol

    Go here for a list of AdvMenu key character key names;
    http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/45/idpl/11079359/numer/1/nazwa/advmenu
    Search for string "The available key names are"
  • This is awesome. Could you put this up on github as a pull request?
  • I am not too sure how to do this. I can't figure out how to add the modified file....
  • Moved into solved category as the main question has been solved :)

Howdy, Stranger!
