It doesn't seem like that would be the cause to me, but I'll let you know if I get the same when I get mine back together. I'm using happs sticks too. -S |

hmm i just went home for lunch and played some metal slug by myself, and the controls were still sticking. not just the joysticks sometimes the fire button would stop working for a sec if i moved a certain way its really weird... |

I used to get mine sticking sometimes - Happs Super - and i found that the actuator arm on the microswitch was too close to "hourglass" piece of the joystick. During games it would register the movement and then get stuck. I have now bent the actuators slightly so they are just not quite touching the joystick. I don't know if it could help you at all. :-\ |

I initially thought your joysticks may not be assembled correctly, that's why I asked what kind they were. But since you are using Comp's, there's really not much you can do to those to assembly them wrong. A Super or P360 will be sticky if the conical bushing is installed upside down, but the Comp uses a cylindrical spacer. Also like cdbrown mentioned, the acutator levers on Supers can be not aligned properly, but that wouldn't be a problem on the Comp's. If you open up notepad and type in characters with your controls, do you see the characters repeating like it is stuck? If so, I suspect a definite wiring problem. Do you happen to have any other joysticks you can swap in to see if the same thing happens? If the notepad test is okay, then your MAME install is flaked out. This has happened to me before, and what I do is just delete the entire MAME directory (except the roms folder!), and then unzip a fresh copy of MAME. |

well i tried the notepad thing and i couldnt get it to do it. its not doing it consistantly or in any type of pattern it just happens. but i played around in there for a while and couldnt get it to stick. i got the new mame32 .80 did a clean unzip moved the roms etc. and it still does it. also its not the just joysticks that get stuck its the buttons also, although they seem to only get stuck in conjuction with joystick use. because i was playing popnmusic and using buttons only and they dont seem to get stuck. im really stumped here i hope someone can help me =( |
