Switching USB joysticks & Emulator Settings
ChrisK:
Wow, drventure, I just spent some time reading through the documentation for ControllerRemap. That's pretty comprehensive! It'll take me a while to digest all that.
Thanks for writing this utility. When I get a chance to start putting controllers together (have to move into the house before I can set up the rec room :) ) I'll be poring over your utility.
drventure:
Thanks. I had similar problems to yours. I wish I had time to really dive into the mame source and fix it up to essentially do the same thing internally, but, that'll take more time than I have to devote to it right now, sadly.
But ControllerRemap works pretty good in the interim.
It can seem a bit daunting when you first starting reading about it. My advice is to try and get just one joystick/usb device working first. Once you've gone through that and see how all the pieces fit together, the rest should be pretty easy.
ChrisK:
Yeah, it looks like the kind of thing that's easiest to learn by doing. I just need to build the sticks that are going to cause me this problem first. ;D
drventure:
Have you considered hacking those wireless pads? I've seen any number of "fight stick" type builds that were completely wireless because they made use of a hacked wireless controller.
Might be another option (and alleviate stringing USB cords across the room :)
ChrisK:
I was hoping to avoid hacking gamepads, but wireless is an intriguing idea. That would be really handy considering it's a big room and people will be scattered all around the room, unlike with my upright.
Hm, thanks for the idea. I'll have to keep an eye out for wireless gamepads.
