Phoenix Scrambled

[FrizzleFried]

Graphic issue resolved. Oddly however, I lose all my hotkeys when I go in to these games... No way to exit without keyboard.

in advmame.rc find this bit and change it to raw (it's probably on auto at the moment)
device_joystick raw
device_keyboard raw

if it turns out the sdl version also gives issues in advmame.sdl.rc it should look like
device_joystick raw
device_keyboard sdl

It might be worth trying the "3.81 update" I put out today. It's just advmame config files I'd forgotten about backing up on 3.8, they're probably safe to use on the 3.7x builds (back up the old ones in case). This is all the 3.81 update fixes.

I made the changes indicated in both files (.rc and .sdl.rc) and, after an initial issue (file didn't save) all seems to be working.

THANKS!

Whoops... I went in to these two games last night to play and while the hotkey to exit is working (which is what I based my last response on)... I simply can not coin up. I can't coin up with hotkey. I can't coin up by hitting 5 on my keyboard... I tried hitting 9 as that worked on another game but no go. I simply can not coin up Phoenix or Pleiades?!?

Any ideas?

You could either fix the controls in emulator via 'start + joystick right' or 'tab', for advmame you will need to do 'for all games' and also 'for this game' as otherwise it saves the current config to the current game instead of the new one (odd bug, you can also just do for all games then delete the games specific config in the rc file made for the game that was running at the time). You will want to set 5 for the coin as well as your coin chute/button/whatever if you want the joystick shortcut for coin to work. 9 is the default MAME key for service credit, if your cab has a service credit button you may want to check it works too (but it's only supported by games that had service credit originally).

Otherwise, I released a fix to the fix that requires it's own fix! (lol, I suck), the controls should be right with the config files from the 3.811 fix. If you install them through the update you need to delete the . in the foldername 3.811_fixupdate so it is 3811_fixupdate (with no dot). After dot removal it should be safe to install the fix update to 3.72 as well as 3.8 as it only changes advmame config files.
