In Reply to: Re: Related Question for users of both MAME and Callus in a cabinet posted by Brian Lewis on September 16, 1999 at 11:36:39:

: : : I know about the MAMESET.ZIP file that will remap the player one buttons, but what about Insert Coin and 1-2 Player start buttons?

: : With a limited number of buttons, how DO you accomodate the differences between the two emulators?

: : Take Dan's example: if you map your "insert coin" button to the 3-key, how do you insert a coin when running Callus (short of taking the keyboard out of the cabinet and hitting F3)?

: : In in the process of transferring gigs of ROMS to my dedicated arcade PC (thank god for LapLink), but I still don't know the answer.

: : Hoping you'll save me a lot of trial and error,
: : Joe

: Callus let's you remap the F1,F2,F3 keys to 1,2,3
: just use -altkey as a command switch

: Callus also let's you remap all of the player 1 and
: 2 controls to anything you like, even different
: sets for different games.
: They keys are stored as scancode values in it's config files

: The only problem is that it won't let you remap
: th 'GUI' button (space) or Alt-Q (quits the emulator),
: which is a problem as these 3 button clash with
: standard MAME keys

: - you only need to remap MAME's player 1 button 3
: (space) and either player 1 button1 (alt) or
: player 2 button 3 (Q) to avoid bringing up the
: gui or accidentally quitting out of Callus.

For the life of me, I couldn't completely interpret the list of scan codes I found. The letter keys matched up to the config file just fine, but the function keys were different. According to the config file, F1 should be 71, but on my chart it appears to be 59, etc.

I can't believe I'm the only one to try and change these keys. Any advice?
