sequential shifting on sega model 2?

<< < (6/6)

Hmm, you might try BoomdlangNZ's FFB plugin. I think that will let you enable sequential shifting without needing to run H2Seq. Which i did have running correctly once but it's been so long i can't remember anything. The M2emu is a bit shifty when it comes to how it captures devices, but the FFB plugin can help fix that.

okay i created an account here for the sole reason of attempting to ask for help in this thread since it really is the only resource available for this stuff (especially now since the h2seq website seems to be down for the count), but after fiddling with h2seq for another hour i figured out how to get the program working on m2emu with my driving force GT, and since i'm already here + maybe someone out there is in my exact same situation, i want to just get my setup out there. i didn't try the FFB plugin mentioned here as i had no clue how a teknoparrot FFB plugin would allow me to use sequential shifting in a model 2 emulator, but maybe i'm screwing something up in that regard or missing something obvious.

h2seq absolutely hates my DFGT. neither the joystick test nor the program itself ever recognized the standalone wheel, for some reason. it wouldn't even let me use joy2key, which makes no damn sense because i could use my down/up arrows to shift in-game, but i couldn't use the sequential shifter which was mapped to said down/up arrows to do anything, even with joy2key itself recognizing my inputs. but for some god forsaken reason, having an xbox 360 pad connected allows me to use my joy2key setup just fine (this is using the stock microsoft drivers for the 360 pad).

so, to sum it up: kept all of the settings in the config.ini completely stock. used joy2key to bind my seq shifter to the down/up arrows respectively, then in m2emu did all the usual setup, binded everything except the gears which were set to the stock IKOL binds, and as long as i have an xbox 360 controller connected to my PC, it seems to work well. sucks that somehow, i need to have AA batteries on standby to play daytona USA of all games.

i've been fiddling with this crap for what feels like ages, both today and a few months ago when i couldn't figure it out. i hate this stupid hobby  :banghead:

BoomslangNZ's FFB plugin may have started for Teknoparrot, but it does several emulators now. MAME, flycast, and, wait for iiiiiittt... M2emu. It also circumvents some quirks in the emulator, and allows you to bind all your keys/buttons/axes without needing to open the M2 emulator itself. So yes, it is definitely worth looking at first if you are having probs. Or possibly even if you aren't.

Another thing to try is opening all programs at the admin level, emulator, J2key, AHK, RTSS, etc. Sometimes Joy-to-key won't pass keys along unless it has higher permissions. And the emulator probably wants to be on the same level to see them, etc.
