Hi,
Rapid-Fire works in notepad but not in mame games (e.g. 1942). Is there something I need to do to get it to work ?
Thanks
Rob

MAME uses an input method that is not compatable with Xpadder without patching MAME. Jonathan has made patched versions of popular versions.

Hi - thank you for the reply. As mame was working with xpadder (everything except rapid-fire) I assumed I was using an older version of mame which was compatible. I don't understand how editing "#define FORCE_DIRECTINPUT 0" and setting the value to 1 would make rapid fire work but I'll sure give it a go when I get home from work. Here's hoping!

Hi - I downloaded mameuifx32-0.137(Xpadder).zip and am now running mameuifx32.exe which works fine but rapid-fire still does not work. I'm using an xbox controller and in mame have assigned the fire button to Y and A buttons (top and bottom). I've assigned rapid fire to the Y button but there's no difference in using Y or A buttons in the game. Neither rapid fire.
Has anyone successfully got this to work? Is there a step I'm missing? (Tried on 1942, Ghosts and Goblins - no dice)
Thanks
Rob

Does it work if you select a longer time for the turbo (maybe 2 seconds).
Maybe MAME translates the rapid input into hold key, in this case nothing could change this.

Tried that - no dice - thanks for the suggestion though.

Turbo only acts on the emulated keyboard presses assigned with Xpadder not the actual raw controller data. In MAME assign fire to a key and then in Xpadder assign that key to the buttons and it should work.

Yup - that did it. Thanks CableDog!

This link no longer works. Was this supposed to be a link to a version of mame that is already recompiled to work with Xpadder? I found the walkthrough tutorial here:SGTCableDog wrote:MAME uses an input method that is not compatable with Xpadder without patching MAME. Jonathan has made patched versions of popular versions.

I just don't understand why each person has to go through all of these steps. Has anyone already done all of this work and can share the end result?
