How to enable/use autofire in mameplus ?

[ClessxAlghazanth]

I'd like to use autofire in games such as Strikers 1945 II , Truxton and Raiden Fighters 1 & 2 , in which button tapping can be real tiring for me , but I can not figure out how to do it . I'm using an older version of mameplus , which has autofire setting in the tab-menu but I don't understand how to use it...

can someone please enlighten me on this if possible ?

thanks

1. Create a custom button, assign it to the button that is used to shoot.
2. In the auto-fire settings, set that custom button to auto-fire.

Setting up an autofire custom button isn't as straightforward as it could be, so I'll leave this handy post of BIL's here: http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.ph ... 59#p767059

The tricky part to understanding how custom buttons work is that you must press the number of the button: For Button 1 you highlight "Custom 1" and then press keyboard number row key 1. If you wanted to have a custom button that fires buttons 1 and 2 (could be useful for Gradius), press 1 and then 2. It should show "1 + 2" in this second case.
