Oops. That should have been .xmame/xmamerc. Sorry about that, chief! I've just sent you a copy of my xmamerc file. Edit to suit your system, put it into the ~/.xmame directory.

joypad works fine for everything else Really? Give this a shot and gimme the output if you have problems after this... xmame.x11 -jt 4 -jdev /dev/js or xmame.x11 -jt 1 -jdev /dev/js this is assuming that you're using the x11 target. shawn p.s. on further troubleshooting give command then effect. ___ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
RE: [Xmame] joypad problems:
I don't have a .xmamerc file on my system ( after udatedb, locate .xmamerc ) .xmamerc is usually located under your home tree. i.e. /home/user/.xmamerc if not you can do a... xmame -showconfig /home/user/.xmamerc pull up your favorite editor (emacs ;p) and start editing away! You can try from the command line to see where the problem lies within (gxmame or xmame). And it _is_ most likely a configuration problem on your end, one way or the other. The gxmame I currently have (hi shad!) is broken and I can't remember how to configure gxmame from memory, so with a front end I'm sure someone else will be more of a help. shawn ___ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
