In MAMEUI™ or MAME Plus: open Options (at the top), then ' Default Game Options', select the ' Game Controllers' tab and set your ' Default input layout' to 'X-Arcade' from the drop-down list (for trackball use also click the box to ' Enable Mouse Support').
(While MAME includes an 'xarcade.cfg' file, we recommend using our updated version here).
Download the X-Arcade™ controller config file and unzip it to the 'ctrlr' subfolder of MAME™. The X-Arcade works as a simple keyboard, so if it is working in the test program but not in MAME, then you have a problem with your MAME software settings, not the controller! If your controller doesn't work in the X-Arcade™ Test Utility Program, then it will NOT work in MAME™.īefore attempting to play MAME games, test that your controller is fully working in our X-Arcade™ Test Utility Program. But if you are familiar with MAME™ already and are PC savvy, follow these steps to get the X-Arcade working with your version of MAME™. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are new to MAME™, we recommend following our easy guides (for PC and Mac) for using the X-Arcade™ with MAME™.
