Auto Switching 4-8 way gates for joysticks - Glens Retro Show
<< < (6/8) > >>

I picked up a pair of these, and have some JLFs on the way to go with them.  I tried the batch script from the GRS website, and it's working for me.  I wasn't able to command individual servos with the batch script, it was all or nothing.  Not that big of a deal, as I don't see a need for mixing 8-way and 4-way. 

It seems simple enough and should be easy to integrate into a front end.  I've seen on the Big Box forum where someone is switching to 4-way for 4-way games and back to 8-way on game exit.  I think that would cover everything I need them to do.

I never could find a script at the GRS website.  Can you share a link please?  Thanks!

The links to the software and command line script are about half way down the product page: https://thunderstickstudio.com/products/tos-grs-4-to-8-way-restrictor-all-in-one-kit

tos428cl is the command line version you'd wan to use in a batch file:https://thunderjoystick.com/products/GRS-TOS/tos428cl_setup.zip

Just looked at your script, it looks like you are using the command line tool I was talking about. 

Here's the instructions I found for Launch Box:https://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/67776-automatically-switch-between-4-way-and-8-way-joystick-depending-on-loaded-game/

Oh ok I see what you mean.

Yes there is a plug-in for LaunchBox. I use hyper spin so I created my own script.  And it's fairly generic so would work with any emulator I believe.
