Help with mapping buttons on MAME using a gamepad please

All I know is the PS2 3S setup.

Square - LP, Triangle - MP, R1 - HP
X- LK, Circle - MK - R2, HK

Hope this helps.

I know that, but I mean within MAME itself. I’ll be more specific…

Button 1 = ?
Button 2 = ?
Button 3 = ?
Button 4 = ?
Button 5 = ?
Button 6 = ?
Button 7 = ?
Button 8 = ?

What would each of these buttons be in 3S? Like, is button 1 - MP, is button 2 MK?

Does that make sense? :sweat:

Button 1 = LP/Jab
Button 2 = MP/Strong
Button 3 = HP/Fierce
Button 4 = LK/Short
Button 5 = MK/Forward
Button 6 = HK/Roundhouse

That pretty much goes for every SF on MAME.

Hope that answers your question, sorry for the confusion.

No prob. Thanks a lot.
