mugen.cfg - INPUT configuration for controllers

[mr_bourrepalestick]

Have you ever tried to map a Mugen input on a "Trigger" button of your preferred controller using Mugen's joystick input options ?  You'll see that it "jumps" over 2 (or 3) inputs at once ! Very annoying !

Spoiler: why does it jump over 3 inputs ? (click to show)

The reason is because those "trigger" buttons have 3 different input triggers :
- activating +/- axis - position set (depending on trigger's sensivity)
- releasing +/- axis - reset position (depending on trigger's sensivity)
- activating a button when reaching max position (for some manufacturers only)

The best way is to manually assign buttons through mugen.cfg file, using a text editor (by default, you'll find the mugen.cfg file in the /data subfolder of your mugen folder).

>>> GENERAL STUFF <<<

In mugen.cfg file, you'll be looking for the [Input] section, on the lower part of the file. It looks like :

Code Select Expand

[Input]
P1.UseKeyboard = 1
P2.UseKeyboard = 1
;Joystick type:
;0 - Disabled
;1 - Enabled
P1.Joystick.type = 1
P2.Joystick.type = 1
First, make sure "Joystick.type" is 1 to enable joystick use (obvious, but you never know ...)

Then, few lines below, you'll be looking for [P1 Joystick] and [P2 Joystick] subsections.

Spoiler: In my case (P1 Joystick) looks like this : (click to show)

[P1 Joystick] ; Saitek cyborg-pad hitbox controller
Jump   = 11
Crouch = 12
Left   = 13
Right  = 14
A      = 16
B      = 18
C      = 20
X      = 15
Y      = 17
Z      = 19
Start  = 24

For each Mugen input, you have figures that correspond to buttons of your controller.
And every manufacturer has is own button numbering . So there is no "universal" numbering or such.

Still, here are button numbers for two popular controllers, (FOR PLAYER1 !!!)

Spoiler:  PS4 controller button numbers for mugen.cfg (click to show)

Up : 13
Down : 14
Left : 15
Right : 16

square : 17
cross : 18
circle : 19
triangle : 20
L1 : 21
R1 : 22
L2 : 23
R2 : 24
Start : 24

Spoiler:  Xbox360 controller button numbers for mugen.cfg (click to show)

(left stick)
Up : 01
Down : 02
Left : 03
Right : 04

(D pad)
Up : 23
Down : 24
Left : 25
Right : 26

A : 17
B : 18
X : 19
Y : 20
LB : 21
RB : 22
LT : 06
RT : 08
Start : 24

You can use those numbers for Player1 input controls only. For Player2 inputs, you should add (32) to each input figure.
For instance, a Player2 using an xbox360 controller will have his RB input number being  22+32=54 .
