hi
i got a problem with xmame, i ran kxmame and then configured to use my usb joypad, but when i try run a game a get this error message: Error: joytype 1 is not available
any help???
thnxs in advance

is the joydev module loaded?
did you check the device path for your joypad?
/dev/js0 or /dev/input/js or something like that?
i think you need to configure the path for your gamepad somewhere in the config dialog.. but i have no clue where it was..

already check that point, device path is right. for the joypad is /dev/input/js0 and i paste that path in the config dialog...

I too was having this problem a few months ago. I gave up because I never found a solution. My joypad works fine w/ everthing else I use it for.

I have the following line in my ~/.xmame/xmamerc:
joytype 5The 5 sets the type to SDL joystick. You can also test this by passing a parameter to xmame:
xmame -joytype 5 pacmanOffline
i dont have the ~/.xmame/xmamerc !!!! so??? what can i do??
thnxs in advance

You can create a xmamerc with the default options by first creating the ~/.xmame directory if it doesn't exist and then running:
xmame -showconfig > ~/.xmame/xmamercOffline
i' have modified the xmamerc but still the same.... kxmame don't leave me run any rom because the joytype error and if i try to run a game with the -joytype 5 parameter i just can't, always got a rom missing... this is my configuration on the xmamerc:
i dont wanna give up yet.... any help???

The rom missing error is because you have the rompath set to /usr/share/xmame/roms, which is probably not where you keep your roms. Try changing the path to the correct location. Also, the pacman game was just an example, replace it with a rom you have.
If the joystick still doesn't work, run 'xmame -help' and look to see what other numbers you can pass to -joytype.
Also, if I compile xmame on my machine, it contains a -joytype 1 options, but the xmame downloaded via pacman does not. So if all else fails, you may want to try compiling the package yourself and seeing if you can use joytype 1.
