Uh oh, does this over/under rotate problem occur with Druins interface as well ? I'm using MAME 32 and I picked up one of Druins interfaces a couple months ago but I haven't hooked it up yet. Am I going to have to use MAME Analog plus with Druins interface or will it work ok with MAME 32 ? The reason I ask is because I haven't figured out how to use regular MAME yet. ::)

Hey geekbrain would you mind sending your code my way also. I have some friends that can help me program PICs at my school. My email is matthewknotts@hotmail.com

Here's that other thread in case anyone was interested

If you are going to do it... at least try to make it configurable to work with analog mame
it works SO MUCH better its amazing! Time solders is fun with direct connects... and left-rights... but it sucks with trying to sime out how long each click should be.... Really sucks!
Anyway.. if Analog+ Mame worked with ikari warriors and a few others with direct connect. I would recommend just making a special 24 key encoder of some nature and using that. I only have one connected this way... and it was SO much nicer... that I gave up on using the regular way to do it.. Just waiting...

I'm glad to see someone read the old post rather than having to rehash anything. Brooksware2000 and knuttz - I will email tomorrow - I have the code at work at the moment. I have absolutely no problem sharing the hex file freely in the spirit of MAME. I will share the assembly source as well with the provision that if you use it you give credit where credit is due - don't plagarize and say you created it.
And most importantly - DO NOT ask me to burn chips - there are all sorts of resources on the net for doing this. I'm an electrical engineer and have learned several useful things from the MAME experience that I have been able to apply at work. Use the opportunity to learn something!
Like I said in my first post of this thread - the PIC code I have works well with the IPAC using Wordpad - it catches every detent (360 dgrees/12 = 30 degrees BTW). The problem appears to be with the MAME setup. It also might have to do with IPAC connection or motherboard BIOS (keyboard frequency) - it's presently been used with keyboard interface instead of the USB. Don't know if that matters. Again I will openly share based on my above comments!
