Inputs not working

Hello everyone,

Great work keeping Model 3 alive and accessible for those of us who loved the games back in the day!

This was originally a post about Daytona USA 2 not going out of the network issue that's discussed in this website's help section, but now that I've tested it out a bit more, it seems the problem's completely different.

No keyboard inputs will work. Not the default ones, and not the ones I set via the -config-inputs command prompt. (Supermodel.ini has changed accordingly)

Is there a known reason as to why Supermodel won't accept a keyboard at times?

Thanks!

Make sure your window is actually selected and that a Config folder exists from which to load the config file. If you launch Supermodel using some launcher that isn’t setting the working directory correctly it won’t find it.

Check Supermodel.log to see if any of your mappings exist. If not, the INI file probably can’t be found.

Thanks for the answer!

- The window is definitely selected.
- The Config folder is there, but no file named "config". There's only supermodel.ini there.
- No supermodel.log file.

Noting, though, that I was using 0.2a for this. I can't even boot the games on the latest 0.3a version, but am looking into it.

Is your Games.xml file up to date? It should also be inside the Config folder.

Thanks!

0.2a - There was no Games.xml file in Config, but the games boot up anyway. I've copied the most recent version in there, but that didn't make a difference in regards to inputs not working, though.

0.3a - The file is there, but it was logged as missing on supermodel.log. Same with supermodel.ini.

That means you are not running supermodel.exe from the Supermodel directory where the Config folder is. You are somehow launching it from a different working directory. Even though supermodel.exe is in the correct folder, you also need to be in that folder when launching it.
