in my very first post I made reference to a thread that asked this: --- Quote ---How do you guys do to play recent games like NHL, Madden etc. with a I-pac? I mean is pretty rare we can use the 2P since they don't let us remap it and I dont want to use a regular joypad on my cabinet. Can we hack a USB joypad only on the 2P and let the I-pac plug too? Do you think any conflict will happen between those two or the joypad will work only with the game who need it? --- End quote --- I had obviously had the same problem with Virtua Tennis and figured it happend (and will continue to happen) in any EA Sports Game. Since I'm a HUGE fan of the NHL series and it was a big part of the reason I made a 4 Player CP, I could see it being a problem when I went to set up that game as well. I'm guessing that most modern games (EA and such) will use the Keyboard as input for 1 player and expect the other 3 to have joysticks/keypads. Because PPJoy seemed to be on the verge of solving the problem and because I could see other people were interested (and I could see it becoming even MORE of an issue later on as more games go to this format) I pushed the Issue. Basicly what it boils down to is this: I didn't build a 4 Player CP and put a 2200XP chip with a GeForce 4 in the machine just to play Donkey Kong. ;) I'm gonna make 1 more post (as Dion just e-mailed me again, with the Source code and an updated version of his program) and then I'm ready to let this thread fade away. :D |

From Dion: Hi guys, Here is the final version of PPJoyKey. The changes are: - Allows you to select the keys to use from a dropdown list - Option to scan for keys to use - Status display - whether it successfully opened the PPJoy virtual joystick device - Fixed the DrWatson (access violation) that would occasionally occur in the original. I include the source for the curious... From Allroy: I put these up on a web site if you want them: http://allroy.bigdrillcar.com/mame/zips/PPJoyKey.zip <-- The program http://allroy.bigdrillcar.com/mame/zips/PPJoyKey_source.zip <-- The Source You may need to right click on these and do a save, but they should work. Thanks again to everyone. Mission accomplished. :D Okay, this is lame..but I just thought since it's also fixing a problem with EA Sports games...maybe we could say that now.... "If it's in the Game, It's in the MAME" uhh...okay, good night everyone! |

Well, you beat me to the punch. I was gonna upload the new stuff :) Anyway, Thanks again Deon and allroy and I am glad we got the problem fixed (even though I don't even have virtua tennis :) ) - Cobelli |

What a coincidence... I've been trying to figure out how to get Virtuatennis to run on my 2 player cab, and decided to search the BYOAC for a solution. What do you know! This thread had the solution, and it is incredibly recent too... Thanks to everyone for your efforts. This is awesome! |

I've got the source and will make improvements and post a reply back on where to download. Don't hold your breath because it isn't top priority...yet. |
