| Introducing: Control Choose |
| << < (4/4) |
| DaOld Man:
Yes, when I wrote joychoose and control choose, the mame.xml listed the 4 way and 8 way joysticks differently from how it does it now. I plan to write a program that would basically do what you suggested, but if you would like to write one, or a script, please do. Ive been busy lately and not sure when I will get a chance to work on it, so I would appreciate it if someone else would do this. The way joychoose and control choose works is that mala passes the control to them. I think mala gets it from the mame.xml file, so now that the xml controls categories have changed, mala passes only a portion of the control. |

How do the lists in question handle 2-way joysticks, both horizontal and vertical? How about hexagon restrictors? Circle? How about special cases like Q*Bert? Is there a list somewhere which lists the type of joystick restrictor used in the original cabinets? |

Control Choose gets the control for the game from Mala. I think Mala gets it from the mame.xml file. CC only knows if it is a joystick and if it is 2,4, or 8 way. CC runs a program that drives a physical setup that switches the needed control, so your joystick would have to be able to mechanically switch to a 2 way, via a motorized actuator. I don't know of any list that tells the joystick restrictor used in original cabinets. Maybe someone else can chime and help? |
