Can't play any game in ADVMAME

[Substring]

@djc is it your x360 pad the only one that is plugged ?

[DJC]

@substring I have tried with 1 and 2 pads plugged.

I can confirm this is an issue. I attempted to load Terminator 2 Judgement Day with ADVMAME selected as the emulator for that particular game and it loads the game but then neither controller 1 or 2 work with buttons. You can see the "calibration" working on the X/Y axis for both controller but no buttons are mapped, you cannot HOME+Start out of the game either.

If you go back and change to default for Emulator it works just fine (assuming its defaulting to Liberto)

@DJC @miso117

Dareku worked fine for me, but T2, got the same problem. The wierd thing is that it onle happened with 2 players, the configuration worked fine for 1 player (but i got stuck at the P2 calibration). The weirdest is that pressing start brings the advancemame menu :s

[Substring]

ok, looks like daraku with 2 players has the same problem, i'll dig deeper

OK, looks like I have to rewrite the configgen for advmame https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox-configgen/issues/142

[DJC]

@substring Thank you and sorry for not replying sooner.
What exactly does it mean to rewrite the configgen to adv mame?
If I understand you will make a new configuration file? If it is the case is it necessary to download this file and copy it to a folder or will it be necessary to wait for a new update?

[Substring]

@djc configgen = configuration generator. It gets information from ES (which pads are plugged, player order and a few more things) and configures emulators according to your current situation. Obviously something changed some time ago in the way advancemame handles pad numbering. I hope it won't give any problem to player ordering

So, I have to rewrite the configgen for advancemame. Not much though, but it now requires some information we never used so far.

@substring Any News?

[Substring]

@djc no time to spend on that for now
