[Xmame] GXMame history, multiple binary questions, and slight xmame page alert
I'm working on an immediate fix for GXMame so it will work with current XMame builds, at least until the GXMame guys sort out all their changes and make an official working release. What I need to know are the following: 1) What was the most recently supported XMame version in the last officially released GXMame (0.34b, not CVS versions)? 2) Do the different display-mode builds (SDL, x11, etc.) have any significantly different command-line options from one another? What about different platform builds? Of course if someone had information handy about all command-line changes that have gone on since the last GXMame update, it would save me a bunch of time. Also if the GXMame guys were to say "a new working version is only xx days away" it would save me even more time, as in that case I simply won't bother :) Finally, I thought I'd give a heads up to the XMame website maintainers that clicking the 'Mailing List' link did not infact bring me to the page about the mailing list... 'Links' seems off too, as are maybe some others. Thanks. ___ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
Re: [Xmame] bash based xmame-screensaver
Also, it might be a nice feature to have a random-noadult game mode. As there isn't really a flag for this already for each ROM, it might be enough to just have an exclusion list for all of the known "adult" games, just to keep things friendly in mixed company. I noticed some of the adult games actually have a DIP toggle seemingly for adult/non-adult. Not sure if all of them do, but if so, that would be a possible way to target these. Anyway, just some thoughts... Don't think that DipSW is present on all games. However, the latest catver.ini lists any game with even remotely adult content as "gametype / *mature". ___ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
Re: [Xmame] Can xmame support two gamepads?
Todd Flinders wrote: Hello, I've tried searching Google for some time, but I can't find this answer. I have two Logitech Cordless RumblePad 2's, and I would like to use them with xmame .90 to play 2 player games. I can use one gamepad perfectly by issuing the following command: xmame -jdev /dev/js ./robby However, for the life of me, I can't figure out how convince xmame to recognize the second gamepad on /dev/js1. Both gamepads seem to work fine with jstest. Is there any syntax I am overlooking? Please? Thanks for the help. Which joystick driver are you using? I've found SDL joystick input has been hit or miss.. try with -joytype 1 and see if it works, and if not, well... there's always qjoypad... ___ Xmame mailing list Xmame@toybox.twisted.org.uk http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame

Todd Flinders wrote: I haven't specified a joytype. I just don't know the syntax to tell xmame that I have two usb gamepads. Either one works fine by themselves, but I don't know how to tell xmame to use them both so I can play 2 player games with them. For example, to launch xmame with one gamepad, I type: xmame -jdev /dev/js2 ./somerom To launch xmame with two usb gamepads, I want to do something like the following, but I don't know the syntax: xmame -jdev /dev/js -jdev /dev/js2 ./somerom Can xmame support two usb gamepads, one for each player? Thanks for the help. I'm searching google, but not having any luck. The reason you use /dev/js and not /dev/js0 is because xmame will then look for /dev/js* and use any devices it finds as gamepads. Under normal circumstances, if you have js0 and js1 it will detect and use them both. If you're using xmame.SDL, I think it defaults to the SDL joystick driver (-joytype 5) which has been not perfect for quite some time I think. -joytype 1 is the only option that seems to work for multiple gamepads, for me anyhow... hopefully you've got this compiled in! (JOY_STANDARD = 1) Also it never helps to do ls /dev/js* to make sure both devices actually exist, although you've probably checked for that by now... And like I said, if nothing else works and you want dual gamepad support right now, google for QJoyPad which lets you map joysticks to keyboard presses in X. ___ Xmame mailing list Xmame@toybox.twisted.org.uk http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
