Analog+ : What is it?

Mame:Analog+ is a variation of mame that is designed to add to and help improve the analog input data handling to the standard mame. Among the features include multiple mice suport, changable mouse axis, and my analog Pedal patch (full feature list). Most of the features are optional: they can be enabled or disabled from the commandline or mame's config (.ini or .cfg) file.

The major version is the windows dx8 version, although I try to also include dos, mame32, and (sometimes) windows dx5 versions. The windows dx8 has all the features, while the others may miss some to most of the features.


Getting Started

  1. Either download the binary exe, or compile analog+ into Mame yourself. Compiling is detailed on the compile page. Both can be downloaded from http://www.urebelscum.speedhost.com/download.html or one of it's mirrors. I recommond downloading the binary for most people, unless you want to make other changes to the source yourself.
  2. The binary compiled is called "mameanalog.exe" for windows, and "dmamea.exe" for DOS (like the official mame). You can: copy this into your your normal Mame folder, rename Mame:Analog+ to mame.exe and overwrite the standard mame, or create a new folder for Mame:Analog+. (This readme assumes you are mameanalog.exe, but most is the same for dmamea.exe). I suggest moving or extracting Mame:Analog+ into the same folder as mame. (Read the documents that came with standard mame on setting up mame.)
  3. If you are running the windows version, type "mameanalog -cc" to create the mamepedal.ini file. If the file already is there, it will not be overwritten, so you will should hand copy the added features into mameanalog.ini (see full feature list).
  4. Edit the .ini file and set the options to your preferences.
  5. Run mameanalog like normal mame.

Compiling

Here is a full page on compiling Mame:Analog+. More infomation on compiling mame in general can be found at mame.net's windows compile or dos compile pages.

After compiling, go to step two of getting started.
