![]() Not all of them will "just work" with the Xarcade controller. If anyone have the X-arcade, I would appreciate a crash course about how to use this thing The x-arcade is emulating a keyboard, and that is the default setup for mame games, so I thought that it was all that I had to do to use it but it is not the case. For example, the button I did mark in BB to be the back button, and in Retroarch to be the B button is instead magically assigned to "add coin" same for the other buttons I assigned it seems like there are 2 set of assignments going on top of each other, and I can't figure out how to solve the issue. I thought the issue was retroarch, so I launched it and configured A B X Y R L Select Start, but the buttons overlap. Although when I play, nothing seems to work. ![]() I did change in BB the controls so I have them mapped to the X arcade, and I am able to navigate, launch games, go back to the system selection and such. The controller works as far as moving up, down, left and right. Probably because on the Pi I use only the keyboard and the X-arcade, while on windows I have multiple controllers, including the x-arcade and keyboard.īasically I launch BigBox, I use the keyboard fine then I plug in the x-arcade and it somehow works I have it set to position 1, which is the default for MAME. I was able to use it in retropie without problem, so I assumed it would be the same on Launchbox and big box but it is not the case. I also have a few none mame games that i play on here through steam, including Mortal Kombat 9, Injustice, and Street Fighter 4.Hi all, I did get an X-arcade not the tank model, this is the one with just the 2 players controls without the ball. This way i have 4 buttons on the top row to simulate the Neo Geo layout. Most fighting games only use 6 buttons, but the 7th button comes in handy. (player 3 and 4 are off to the sides because they aren't used as much, leaving players 1 and 2 in the center of the panel. If you are just using MAME, you only need a max of 4 buttons per player for 4 player games, but some of the 1 and 2 player games need more (mostly fighting games) i opted for 4 buttons for players 3 and 4, and 7 buttons for players 1 and 2. I personally wanted a 3" trackball for centipede and millipede, as well as bowling/golf games. This can vary based on which types of games you want to be able to play. You also need to plan out what type of controls you wish to have, and how many buttons per player. I've included a diagram with the dimensions of the boars you will need to make it like mine. I started off using Google SketchUp to design the unit, then tweaked it until it looked right. the front, back and both sides are 24" wide, so there was very little cutting involved. also, this prevented me from having to cut a bunch of long straight cuts. This means that no panel is larger than 2ft x 4ft. I didn't want to try to haul full sheets of MDF in my minivan by myself, so I used pre-cut 2ft x 4ft pieces of MDF for the construction. I designed this cabinet build around simplicity. a 3ghz pentium 4 for 4gb of ram should be plenty for mame, you may need more if you choose to add PC games or other emulators)
