Well I finally found a working version of mameand the rom of metal slug 5. I know a day late and a dollar short but I do not know how to configure joystick to specific buttons. I know in mame 32 you go to control tab then highlight control key to activate the control then hit tab to configure contols. Well the tab still works but it doesnt recognize controller. Remember you arent talking to a computer moron here. I dont even know how to launch dos which I believe you have to do.. Please help.

Yes I did that but you have to activate the contoller icon thats how it works of mame 32 which I do how to work. I did hear about certain versions of this specialized mame that doesnt allow controller input. How I dont have one of theose versions.

You want to go to a command prompt and use the -joystick command to get your pad activated. DO the following: 1. Click start and go to "run". 2. Type in "cmd" and press enter 3. You'll now need to get to the dir where mame is. First type "C:" (replace "C:" with the letter of your HD if it is not C) and press enter, and now type in "cd" and then the location of your mame DIR. For instance it might be: cd emulators\mame\ 4. Now you are in the dir, launch mame by using the following command: mame ms5 -joystick Of your mame has a different filename (like ms5mame.exe or whatever), then type that instead of just "mame", and if your ms5 zip is different (some of them are entitled "ms5nd", then type that instead of just "ms5". That's it, mame will now run and whatever joystick you have configured in windows will be activated, now you just need to press tab once the game is running to configure your keys. I know this sounds really complex, but it isn't really and will only take you a few seconds to do. You can also download front ends for mame that do all the work for you and all you have to do is set what options you want using a menu - I have no idea what the best ones are though, someone else can probably help you with that. I know no-one has done this yet, but once again please don't post any links to versions of MAME that have newer games enabled, as distributing them is against the MAME license - I'm sure you can find them at the usual places  Kaz
