MAMEUIFX32 Rapid Fire help

[evil_ash_xero]

I'm using MAMEUIFX32, and i'm trying to figure out a way to map one action to two buttons, so I can have a rapid fire, and then have a "power shot" button. I can't seem to figure out how. When I go to the settings in the game, it will just give me button one or two, and I can't map a 3rd button for rapid-fire or whatever.

Can I, and i'm just missing something? Or is this something I just can't do with this version of MAME? It seems kind of stupid not to have it.

There's a simple solution. First off, if your fire button (button 1) needs a seperate button for autofire. Go into the custom button tab, press 1 on Button 1 or Custom 1 I forgot, either way press it. Then configure the Custom 1 button in "Controls". THEN set the autofire for the custom button and here you go. As far as I recall that is.

Where's the "custom buttons" tab?

Where's the "custom buttons" tab?

In-game when you press the Tab button if I recall correctly... if it doesn't have that. Sorry but there's no way to do it then

I just use XPadder to give me an extra button 1 (z key, whatever) with turbo on it. 'course that won't help if you play only on keyboard...

How do you map a button to a key and a button? Some of the presets say "Joy Right or Right". But I can't figure out how to get two buttons mapped to one thing. If I hit both at the same time, I have to hit both at the same time just for one button's function. I never get the "OR". How do I do this?

Assign the first button, then *without moving away* assign the second. It will show up as A OR B.

Can I do this with Joy2Key? XPadder just won't work with my computer. I think it's because it's Windows 7.

EDIT: I can't get this to work with Joy2Key.


Any other MAME programs that I could use that have this VERY simple option?

Just do what Kaiser suggested. Isn't there a custom buttons tab in MAMEUIFX? Here's the exact process I use in MAME Plus...

* I'm playing R-Type and want to have both an autofire and regular fire (so I can charge the wave cannon) version of button 1. I start the game, press tab, and select "Custom Buttons."

* P1 Custom 1 is highlighted. I press 1 on the keyboard and red number one appears next to P1 Custom 1. This custom button now does the same thing as button 1.

* I press Escape to back out of the Custom Buttons menu, then select "Autofire Setting." I switch P1 Button 1 to "On" and change the autofire delay to 6 or so.

* I press Escape to back out, then go into "Input (this Game) and assign P1 Button 1 to the button I want for autofire and P1 Custom 1 to the button I want for the wave cannon.

There is no custom buttons tab.
