I'm looking forward to top-switchable 4-way/8-way (via 2 buttons that I'll implement on top of my panel) sticks that have a longer throw than the 2 Magstik Plus sticks that I've been using for years! :]

Thanks,

---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, the only thing I loved about the T-sticks was the throw. The microswitch resistance blew, though. I wonder whether this could be fitted to a Wico....

Looking foward to your review.

Are you using these on a mame cabinet? If so it's a piece of cake getting it set up to read the controls.dat and have them switch based upon the game that is launched.


good day.

MAME cab indeed. Piece of cake? Not for a mechanical engineer. I use AutoHotKey & .BAT files to manage my launching of MAME (multiple revs w/ multiple arguments, depending on game) & DAPHNE from a single MaLa front end--can one of these existing tools be used to read the controls.dat file & move the restrictor accordingly? Are all controls.dat entries correct? I recall some being incorrect...(?) Can somebody spoonfeed this piece of cake? This is over my head... :-[

Thanks,

From Ultimac's site you can get the little piece of software called joytray. With that you can just use F4 (4-way) or F8 (8-way) in addition to that you can add the argument for the joytray exe for each mode to your files. For my purpose (mame'd space invaders cocktail) I used a pair of sticks, joytray.exe and this plug-in http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,113162.0.html with mala to read the control.dat and launch the appropriate argument upon game start. Now my setup is only being used on a vertical screen with cocktail flipping so I'm only dealing with maybe 60 games.


good day.

How's that for cake? LEDBlinky is an amazing tool.
