Introducing: Control Choose

(1/4) > >>

DaOld Man:
This is a new plugin for Mala that could be called the next version of JoyChoose.
ControlChoose controls more than the joystick, so this is a big step up from JoyChoose.
Example:
If the game you have selected in Mala requires a trackball, you can light the trackball (using an external hardware to actually turn the trackball's led on.)
If the game requires a light gun, you can control your hardware to make the light gun pop out of your cabinet.
ControlChoose can also control your joystick just like JoyChoose does.
If you are only switching your joystick between 2,4, and 8 way, I suggest you use JoyChoose, but you can still use ControlChoose, but I wouldnt recommend using both.
ControlChoose uses a control list that you build in the configure mode of the plugin.
Here is an example:

If Control = joy8way Then Run (your program to turn the joystick to 8 way)
If Control = joy4way Then Run (your program to turn the joystick to 4 way)
If Emulator = Mame Then Run (your program to do whatever you want when mame is selected.)
If Control <> Lightgun Then Run (your program to pull the lightgun back into the cab).

Just like JoyChoose, this program can open up several ideas.
I have not uploaded the plugin to the malafe.net website yet.
If you would like to test it, drop me a PM with your email and I will send it to you.
(DarthPaul is currently testing it for me on his automated cabinet.)

Here's a screen shot of the configure mode (showing a list of actions I created to test it:

TopJimmyCooks:
Good thing to have -thanks.  [goes to look for something to automate . . .]

Le Chuck:
This is the type of software that starts off for arcade applications but before you know it MALA will be turning on our lights, making coffee, and producing grocery lists all thanks to DaOld Man.  Just think, pressure switch in the seat of the recliner get depressed by my lazy ass, tv comes on, hoover roomba brings me a beer.
