Emulation problems

Trying to put racing games in my condo on the racing cabnits but some of them dont read the wheel at all, cant turn, or turn left constantly, no clue how to fix those issues, some even only let me change the songs, games ive tried , Virtua racer, Crusin USA, Wipeout 2097, Crash team racing, Driver among others, ive also had some light gun troubles where the crosshair and were i shoot dont match at all, along with other games like beat em ups and fighters just not having correct controls, using keyboard

If you are using the MAME 2010 core for emulating racing games, there’s a known issue where the racing inputs don’t function. Unfortunately the latest MAME core doesn’t seem to be compatible with how we’re hooking into Libretro cores and will crash the game.

It’s best to look for a port of the game on other consoles to emulate them. For example, N64, PSX, and NAOMI games have no input issues, luckily. There’s also a few PS2 arcade ports that can run.

For other consoles, the controls for the keyboard is based around the Xbox layout.

For MAME specifically, the defaults are:

Key Action
Z MAME 1
X MAME 2
C MAME 3
V MAME 4
Right Shift Insert Coin
Enter Start
F MAME 5
G MAME 6
Up Arrow Up
Down Arrow Down
Left Arrow Left
Right Arrow Right

MAME controls will automatically map to the best of its abilities.

:frowning: what about the lightgun issue?

Some games require a gun calibration, which is case by case, but you can access the MAME menu with F1 or enter the test mode menu with F2 which might show the gun calibration settings. Luckily you only need to do it once.

thank ye

okay now i feel awful ive encountered a new problem, ive calibrated the gun but now i cant leave the menu
