Hacking Analog Controls
« on: February 16, 2005, 10:10:22 pm »
I'm about to attempt to build some analog controls and picked up three differnet models to experiment with.

I was wondering if anyone here has ever tried to hack any of the following:

1) Logitech Dual Action Gamepad
2) MS SideWinder Dual Strike
3) Thrustmaster Phazer Pad

If so, any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Is this a worthwhile hack anymore?  It seems like Dave's AKI would be a better solution, and wouldn't cost much more?

That reminds me.

Are there any known issues with Dave's AKI interface?

More importantly, a friend of mine said that from the MAME side there is some sort of overflow error that MAME doesn't handle well, and it's supposed to be fairly well known.

As a result, on games like Centipede/Millipede you can't
go at the fastest speed all the way across the screen.

Can anyone elaborate on this?

Thanks a lot.

Never heard of the overflow error.  Wonder if he was talking about backspin when using a trackball or spinner.  That can be fixed with options in the analog control section.
