| How to install joystick on 3/4 plywood? |

yeah i have it set up/wired right. when i go up it goes up and so on. im sure the problem isnt computer related. i think it might just be the quality of the joystick. because it works when i try and do a jump forward or UP and RIGHT at the same time. it just doesnt work like how it would with a real arcade machine. like it doesnt do a jump forward/UP and RIGHT all the time. it really does feel like the joystick because i dont have any problems with my 2nd player joystick. im thinking i may have to switch the joystick or the microswitches. but yeah i think i asked the question originally to find out if there was a certain way i have to mount the joystick to my plywood. should i attach a picture? |

If it goes up when you press up and right when you press right, it has to be software related. Joysticks are simple things, they are just levers that make contact with switches. If the basic four directions work, the switches work. If you move it to a digonal and the actuator makes contact with two switches, the joystick is working exactly as it should. If the right inputs arent registering, it has to be either the encoder not handling the inputs properly (not likely) or you have it set up wrong on mame |

You could open up a text document, use the joystick (assuming you're using a keyboard encoder), and see if the output of the encoder corresponds to the software inputs. |
