--- Quote from: SOAPboy on November 03, 2004, 04:39:30 am --- this will sound uber retarded.. but did you mix up your NO and NC connections.. itll do exactly what your saying if you did.. --- End quote --- I thought that was the problem at first, but any other game I play doesn't mess up as easily. Mk3 messes up the controls instantly and doesn't fix itself, but other games take a long time to mess up and it's usually not so bad, it ends up going away. I still haven't tested it with the other games ever since changing that "repeat rate". If the other games work, then it's a mk3 problem. I'll go test it on smash tv, that's the game that usually starts to mess up on the 2nd level. Ok I tested it with smash tv. In about 10 seconds of playing, it kept running up and shooting up. It went away after a minute or so. I was able to play awhile after without it happening again. It seems to be completely random. |

You gotta take baby steps then..... Disconnect ALL switches (joystick switches too), then just hook up a few of them, test it out, if it's all OK, then reconnect a few more, test out... and so forth until you encounter the problem again. That will narrow it down (if it is indeed mixed up NC/NO/GRND) |

I do have a crappy wireing job(wires are twisted on), so it may be the problem. I looked real closely and I didn't see anything touching the "no". I only have 3 wires going to the ground, they are all daisy chained. Maybe one of the daisy chained ground wires are touching an "nc", but i'd think it wouldn't work then. I hope this is the problem because I need to rewire them anyways. |

All your wiring should be hooked to the NO contacts, not the NC contacts. The NC (normally closed, think "connected" here) contacts send a signal ALL the time. The NO (normally open, like disconnecting the wire) contacts only send a signal when the button is pressed. |

I have a similar problem with messed up controls. I am still using a standard keyboard as I haven't build my control panel as yet. Even when playing something as simple as Space Invaders, the keys only work for a short while. In Space invaders for example, I can move left or right using the curser keys, if I then press contol key to fire the curser keys will start to behave eratically, I will probably move to the far right, and cant get back, a few more shots and left curser will work for a while. When I come out of MAME, the keyboard does not work properly, and I end up rebooting to cure. Please advise as it is driving me nuts. (I don't have this issue with any other PC applications) |
