GRS Star Wars flight yoke issues

[cool_factor]

Well, did in game testing, now MAME 172, 203, 230 sees the GRS as Joy1. So aggravating. The hotkeys are partially working, I can ESC game holding P1 down, cannot coin up, can move around ATTRACT with Joy and select/launch games. If I change COIN 1 to P1 Joy2 Button 0 I can coin up. jtest still shows correctly for js0-js2 and js3 shows as GRS fy. Thinking MAME is the problem? I am at a loss right now. Small victory, small defeat.

[cool_factor]

I can 100% confirm js0-js2 remain the same with GRS powered off, power it on at attract mode and js0-js2 still remain the same. Power on GRS in attract then launch game in mame and Joy 1 (becomes joy2) and joy2 (becomes joy3) GRS shows as joy1.

That we can fix in mame.ini, for at least 172, 203 and 230, I think. Very far down in the file you'll want to set

you can hard code the others if it matters too. I think I have the names right but I don't have it in front of me at the moment, I can check on the SD card I was using the other day if you need.

Do you have access to /home/mame172/mame.ini etc? I can post the terminal commands to do it there if you need, maybe hard to read the text editor on a arcade monitor though.

Yes I can edit from my PC.

Nearly all my games are in 172 (136 games) then 203 (7 games), 8 in advmame, 2 in fba, 2 in daphne, 1 in PlayStation.

2 jamma joysticks (actually 3 but its wired into jamma 1 joystick and can be removed (youve seen my videos of my 2 cabs)

1 usb ultimarc spinner
1 usb ultimarc trackball
and the usb GRS star wars flight yoke

The spinner and trackball games are so few I can just assign those "in game" if need be as well. Just getting the jamma joys and the GRS fixed would be HUGE, especially when someone else comes along and finds the "fix" once its done.
Even just getting the joys to be joy1 and joy2 across the board would help, the GRS flight yoke has less than 10 games (for me at least, Ive read spyhunter and lunar lander can be played with it). Next will be fixing the "dead zone" but I think thats just a mame setting. Again, THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!!!!!!!!!

On a side note: Any way you could make me an admin on this board? As you can see I'm always here helping where I can and always report the spam/adverts on this site? Just a thought.

I made these and not sure if they're even correct or will work

I haven't tried any of them because I'm not sure where to put them or if they'll even work.

used mame230 and ran ./mamearcade -v >joy.txt (this was ran when everything was "on" so the order is messed up but it gives me the info we need I think)

lsusb:

GRS device is 32be:1402 (weird that its different from above: Baolian industry Co., Ltd. BL flight yoke #1 [GUID 03000000be3200000214000011010000])

Device 003 is the USB keyboard

[cool_factor]

Not sure what I ran for these results, I think it was udevadm info -q all -n /dev/input/js3

While searching I found a post that a Windows PC recognizes the GRS as a game pad. Not sure if this is useful or not...
