Mame -cc (including the space between mame and -cc). Once the command prompt is showing the correct path to the folder your mame. A pop-up window will notify you that the driver is installed, and you’re good to go. As soon as you plug in the controller, Windows 10 will immediately search for and install appropriate drivers for the wired Xbox controller for a PC. If its in C:\emulators\mame you would type All Xbox 360 controllers support USB ports 2.0 or higher, and every computer should have those. You need to do this incrementally for each folder between mame and the core drive so for example if mame is directly in C: you would simply type:

Now change it to the directory where mame is installed. If you're using mameUI its under click the options tab and select default game options and use the tabs there to enable the controller and windowed mode.Īs a final note, if you're using commandline mame (not MameUI) and your first question was 'Whats a mame.ini?' then you need to generate one using a commandline.Ĭlick the windows 'Start' button on the desktop, then click 'run' and type 'cmd' (without the quotes).įirst change it to the drive letter where you have mame installed e.g. Similarly if you want mame to launch in a window scroll down to Windows Vidoe Options and change the Window entry from 0 to a 1. FYI I'm using an older MAME version Mame32 0.86.If you're using commandline mame, then open the mame.ini file and scroll down to core input options, find the enable koystick option and change the 0 to a 1. If you do mess something up (like I did, by accidentally pressing a mystery button while on the Input Menu which once again altered my TAB button so it wouldn't work properly) you might have to delete the default.cfg folder all over again and start from scratch. Then go to the very bottom of the menu to select to get out of this screen. Do these changes for the left and right directions (just as you did for up and down). You might notice the arrow keys no longer work to move down in the menu, so you'll have to switch to using the analog stick to move up and down the menu. Next go to UI Down and press ENTER and then press down on the left analog stick. Press up on your Xbox 360 controller with the analog stick and it should work. When the deadzone is set to 0.3, for example, it makes your Xbox Controller’s movement lock near the center of the screen within the deadzone value selected (0.3). I tried using the d-pad but it didn't work, so go with the analog stick. However, when using a real joystick controller in MAME, like an Xbox controller, the deadzone should be set to 0.3 (that is the default value). Now, press UP on the left analog stick of your Xbox 360 controller you should see the selection change.
