DamienD's SNES DVD...

[sarek2k]

Another thing m8 (i've had a drink or two tonight so bare with me ) Remember the snes and it's controller??? and then psx/psone/ps2 pads came along well i've forgotten which buttons are which on the snes controller because i have gotten so used to the psx one's i know the shoulder buttons L/R and start select are the same but can't remeber which button u pressed on the snes for games as just the other night i setup zsnes with pilotwings and the controller and still not convinced it was right was confussed over which button is A and which is B did i have them mapped the wrong way round ??

I'll have a look tommoz m8 and let u know what i discover and where to go then on the button mapping!

[Macca]

Just for you Sarek...

Ah, now I realize why it was so hard to play some of the games. I use an X360 controller and the Xbox controllers have the X and Y switched. I finally understand the error of my ways.

I use Xbox controllers (not Xbox360) but they are also switched

No problem.

Here's what I need you to do for me:

... Run Snes9x with both your controllers plugged in and test to see what I mapped SNES L + SNES R to (I think it was L2 + R2).
... Run Zsnes and do a full joypad mapping of each controller corresponding to the Snes9x layout, take print screens and then post them here.

Once I know this information I *should* be able to replicated it using my Xbox controllers.

Actually I should be able to work it out without you having to lift a finger...

Thought about it and here's how, quite logical really:

... Run Snes9x with Xbox controllers.
... Remap buttons until I work out which Xbox buttons give PS2 (JO)Button 4 + (JO)Button 5 and make a note of these.
... Run Zsnes and use the noted buttons to set SNES L + R.

This is Why i LOVE Zipsticks so much TWO buttons that do the same thing u can't go wrong lol

[StarEye]

In that aspect, the C64 dvd will be a lot more "true" to the original if you use a Competition Pro USB.

[sarek2k]

I had one of those loaned it to a m8 and never got it back i'll have to get another one!)

Right here goes @ DamienD having a shit load of problems here m8!
i have downloaded modified1 and 2 updated them is there a modified3????
i now have a snes dir on my c:\ drive and the settings are screwed back to what
they were originally i've copy the setup.exe from the modified 1 and 2 plus the
other reg files from the 2 zips and tried to re-run the setup of course it won't work because it's comming up with a sharing violation cause i am running the file i am trying
to copy!!!

if i Re-Burn the dvd that will fix it won't it?

Got myself in a right old mixup here i've took screenshots of both but they mean nothing to me as snes9x is now broken so i can't tell whats what!

when i originally ran your setup.exe i could at least get your settings but now i can't

also you say you've mapped SNES L&R as psx L&R 2+2???? wouldnt it make more sense to have them as psx L&R 1+1 (As tho they are the shoulder buttons on the snes pad? ie the TOP layer) or have u selected em as 2+2 for comfort???

Sharing violation... Never had this before and I've run setup.exe straight after copying everything to the C: or D: drive. Just end / restart the task explorer.exe or reboot Windows...

No modified 3, 4 or 5. I can add 3 and 4, what does everybody think? Guess it would be good for 4 player games like NBA Jam...

As Snes9x is registry based, to find out what buttons I've mapped to SNES L + R all you should need to do it is:

... Insert the DVD into your DVD drive.
... Run SETUP.EXE from \SNES on the DVD.
... Select that you want to use the DVD drive from "File Location + Desktop Shortcut - Setup" menu.
... Select PS2 Controllers from the "Controller - Setup" menu.
... Select Exit, as all desired settings have been applied.

No need, the above should work. Plus if all goes to plan I should have the new multi-emulator DVD all ready / tested by Monday at the latest

You sure have

Interesting. If you say you've copied everything to the root of C: drive then:

... Just delete the C:\SNES directory.
... Copy everything across again.
... Run setup.exe and select Exit, removing all applied settings.
... Run setup.exe again but this time select the options you desire.

Comfort... The original reason why I did this is that as you know there are two buttons on the "shoulder" of a PS / PS2 controller. L1 / R1 is a bit smaller than R2 / R2 so I thought this is a better option (more like to press this and not slip)

[Macca]

I think Sarek must have messed around whilst drunk - lol

May be easier for you to delete everything and re-run the installation (after applying the two fixes).

Any chance of an update on a front-end as well Sarek? I'm at the stage where I need to come up with some kind of copy routine (very easy one at that using xcopy and one variable - lol - but I may still make a hash out of it).

[DamienD]

Macca, if you need help just call

[Macca]

Probably will mate - lol

In all fairness I am going to have one variable (for the installation drive letter - i.e. which drive do you want to install it to? c to z)

And then dependant upon which one they press depends on what happens and which reg files are copied across.

I'll start work tonight and email you a copy.

[DamienD]

Hey sarek2k,

I think I'm in the same boat as Macca now. I also need an updated autorun as well

No rush though, whenever you have the time

Best regards,

[Macca]

Time to get the whip out I think...

[sarek2k]

i AM in the middle of drawing macca's front end now can't do two things at once this is WIP real time

[Macca]

Looks like an old Zzap 64 that does..

Thanks for having a look at it mate.. I'll do the copy and regedit routines tonight, test it and then write a few instructions / readme and job done.

Then come Monday I'll get it posted.

[DamienD]

Very good news, I'm now finished creating those Zsnes configuration files. Phew...

Ok all that's left to do is as follows:

... Add in sarek2k's wonderful autorun.exe (hint, hint).
... Burn the DVD and test all options thoroughly.

If all goes well with testing then I will aim to start sending a few DVDs to people and also create an ISO

[Macca]

Cool congrats mate.

Even worse news is I've found more ini files - it's now gone from two files to four.

I'm going to get drunk I think that may aid my thought.

[DamienD]

LOL. That's exactly what I'm about to do

I just posted in your thread while you were posting in mine. ROLF...

Maybe e-mails the best place to have this conversation?
