Ikari Warriors stick on Mame cabinet

[tagnetti]

Hello all , would it be possible to add an Ikari warriors stick to a mame cabinet for games that require that 12 way rotation and shooting simultaneously?

If so would I need a mouse hack or something? Not sure but I would like to add it to my CP redesign.

Thanks

BIRDMAN is da man.

You will need Druin's interface.

I am wondering, can you use Xybots sticks for these rotational games? They twist right and left, but don't rotate.

[SirPoonga]

yeah, you can, because in mame you define two buttons to rotate left and right.  xybots joystick is just 2 buttons.

The only problem with that then would become playability....you wouldn't be able to twist the stick fast enough compared to rotating a rotary style of stick.  


I thought about this also when I had the opportunity to buy some Xybot sticks hella cheap, but I just decided to run with the rotaries instead.

yeah, the xybots stick is no different than assigning two buttons on your cp to rotate.
