Question regarding default button setup for Arcade Cabinet

Unread post by Morfious »

I have my MiSter setups in Arcade 1up cabinets to use as a multicade. This works out fine but I always have to setup the buttons on a per game setting since my default button layout is not what the games are looking for. Considering a typical Street Fight 2 6 button setup, it looks like the CPS2 MRA file is looking for the following layout:

Code: Select all

<buttons names="Light Punch,Middle Punch,Heavy Punch,Light Kick,Middle Kick,Heavy Kick,Start,Coin,Core credits" default="A,B,X,Y,L,R,Start,Select,-" count="6"/>

A	B	X
Y	L	R

Using the setup guides for a Mister Gamepad I believe I set up my system as such:

Code: Select all

Y	X	L
B	A	R

If I redo the controller setup of my system to match the A,B,X,Y,L,R layout I assume I will be able to play all of the games without remapping. Does this seem correct?

Code: Select all

A	B	X
Y	L	R

If so, info regarding expected button layout for 6 button fighting pads or arcade controls in the FAQ would be welcomed.
