| JoyTray automatic switching? |

Anyone using JoyTray to automatically switch their joysticks into the right mode per game? I just upgraded my arcade cabinet to Ultimarc's ServoStik. My current frontend is Mamewah. I run a batch file between mamewah and mame, I'm thinking of putting some smarts in the batch file to detect the game controller format and automatically switch between 4 and 8 way mode. Has anyone done something similar? Or perhaps it's time for me to change frontends, are there frontends that support joytray automatically? Thanks, Joseph. |

No idea bout joytray, but Mala supports switching via DaOldMan's plugin called joychoose. I haven't used it yet, but if it's like his other plugins, it will spit out whatever command line you specify for either option. I just tried to go to the website and it says bandwidth exceeded, so you might have to ask someone in the Mala subforum to upload it for you. :-\ |

I have mine set up to automatically switch upon game launch with mala. Joytray is needed to control servo board along with joychoose plugin set up in mala with the correct command line entry set up in the plugin. You will also need to have the "controls.dat" set up in mame so that the plugin knows what type of joy is needed. Qbert was the only issue since in the controls.dat it is identified as a 4 way joy stick. I edited the controls.dat so that it is identified as 8 way and set game specific controls in mame to only identify diagonals to have semi real qbert controls. *if you need copies of latest mala and joychoose plugin I can help you with that. good day. |

LEDBlinky has that feature and it's what I use with HyperSpin and my ServoStiks. It looks like it works with Mala too but I personally haven't tried it. Sent from my GT-N8013 using Tapatalk 2 |

Thanks for all the tips. I'd like to avoid changing frontends, but I will if I have to. It looks like I might be able to use LEDBlinky with Mamewah. I'll will try to set that up and report back. Joseph. |
