MAME Controller Configuration

  • Hi there,

    I've just done a fresh install of Libreelec on a new Pi 4 that i've got.

    Everything is working fine and i've used the add-on menu to also install Mame (2015) and i've copied some ROM files on using WinSCP. The games launch fine but so far i'm struggling to figure out how i'm meant to configure the controllers to use.

    I have an arcade stick I build myself which uses an iPac. This seems to be detected by the OS but i'm not able to find a suitable controller profile. Ideally i'd like to bind buttons for both player 1 and player 2 controllers as well as insert credit and another button which i'd use to quit the emulator. So far i've turned up a blank on how to configure this and if I use my keyboard whilst the ROM is running the only buttons which appear to do anything are X (Exits the Emulator) and Tab (Pause). Normally TAB would take you into the Mame menu where you can configure the controller but it doesn't seem to work in this instance.

    If anyone can help me then i'd be very grateful.


    Thanks


    Pete
