How do you set arcade accurate analog settings ??

Pages: << < (3/7) > >>

reebboy:

I'm curious if I use someone elses sensitivity/speed settings on my system, are my controls going to play close but not exact to that other persons settings or is it going to be way off.

It would be interesting to see someone with 2 mame systems, with different controls and configurations but same analog settings, as to how much of a difference the same settings would be.

Just a thought.

Larry Smith:

Depending on your controls, it could be close or it could be way off. The right way to document this stuff is to map gameplay elements to control info on a real machine. This has been done for tempest (on board 1 on trip around the circle eqals either 2 or 3 turns of the spinner i forget which. do a search for a preveios post). Unfortunately I don't know of any other mappings and am not sure of good measurments to take for other games. Martoon's ideas for centipede and arkanoid seem reasonable does anyone have any ideas for other analg games, especially driving games like pole position. If no one else is willing to do it I guess I will be the one to make a web page documenting this stuff, but I will need help with ideas about how to measure as well as the measurements themselves. And let me repeat this will be about measuring real arcade machines not what sensitivity and peed setting you like to use in mame.

Question I've been meaning to ask is whats the difference between sensitivity and joy/key speed?

Sensitivity applies when using a real analog device, joy/key speed is when you have a digital input mapped to an in-game analog one.

Does this mean that if I am using my spinner that the speed setting doesn't come into play at all?
