Hi folks,
I'm in the middle of an ambitious plan to have Gameex control my MAME, Commodore Vic20, Commodore 64, and Amiga games.
For controls I'm using a wireless xbox 360 controller. I also have been using the Pinnacle Game Profiler software which has been the only way that I could utilize all of the controls on the xbox controller within the emulators. So far I've got the controller working perfectly in MAME and that means that I can use the analog or Dpad controls, or program any of the buttons to do specific things in MAME which is just awesome.
A last bit of info, I am also using Gamebase 64 in between Gameex and the emulators. I find it much more useful compared to trying to run VICE or CCS64 directly in Gameex.
Here are two questions. Has anyone had any success getting gamepads to work when emulating the Commodore 64? I've tried both the CCS64 and VICE emulators and I'm having troubles with both. With VICE only the analog joystick is usable when using my wireless xbox controller, but not the Dpad. And with CCS64 I'm getting no response whatsoever from my gamepad or analog joystick.
The last question I have is relating to the way the Gamebase databases show up in Gameex. The Amiga Gamebase shows up nicely as "Gamebase Amiga" because that is the name of the gamebase directly. But the 64 gamebase shows up as "GBC_v10" which is cryptic. Is there any easy way to change this to display something like "Gamebase C64" instead?
Thanks very much for any suggestions on these issues.
Regards,
Macguyver
