MAC ARCADE COIN OPS EMULATOR SERIAL

Download the X-Arcade Programming Software (PC only) and run it.

You can also check if you have a Tri-Mode PCB by switching to mode 3 or 4 which will make the X-Arcade act as a gamepad instead of a keyboard. Tri-Mode X-Arcade controllers have the mode switch labeled 1-4 as shown here. On newer Tri-Mode PCBs and Tri-Mode X-Arcade controllers only, mode 2 is programmable to any keyboard key. PROGRAMMING OPTION 1 - WITH PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE (Tri-Mode only) This saves the programmable memory for games or emulators that do not have an option to change the controls, and it is easier to remember.

For most games and emulators (including MAMEв„ў) you will want to use Mode1, and change any settings in the game or emulator accordingly.

MODE 1 (switch closest to the serial cable, or yellow wire on the switch itself) cannot be programmed.

Programming is for the PC only and does not function on game consoles.

As you become more accustomed to programming The X-Arcadeв„ў, it will be possible to program the X-Arcadeв„ў 'on the fly' within a game. At first, programming the X-Arcadeв„ў is best performed in the X-Arcadeв„ў Test Program or any text editor (like Notepad) so that you can see the results of the programming.

Before you attempt to reprogram your X-Arcade, test that it is working in Mode 1 first.

This setting is preset so that all of the buttons are already programmed and configured to work perfectly with every MAMEв„ў game. Mode 1 is set for emulation software ( MAMEв„ў) and is non-programmable. However, for the few PC games that do not allow you to reassign the keyboard keys within the game itself, you can instead use one of the programmable modes built into the hardware programming chip.
