You will need to map Player 1 & 2 Joys so that UP actually equals UP+RIGHT and so forth, but it will still work perfectly because the 8 way zones are very even on the 49-ways. --- End quote --- It's going to take ALOT more programming than that to make this work properly. As you have it, you will have either a 4-way stick (provided you use Q*Bert mode), or you will have HUGE deadspots on the original directions. If UP=Up-Right, and LEFT=Up-Left, then the joystick will send no usable signal when only the Up switch is pressed. I'm not completely sure that the following mapping will work because I haven't tested it, but it should. It should also work on any 8-way stick--if it DOES work. You need to map the inputs as follows: NOTE: Red are MAME inputs, Green are Joystick inputs. UP=(Up NOT Up-Left) OR Up-Right OR (Right NOT Right-Down) LEFT=(Left NOT Left-Down) OR Up-Left OR (Up NOT Up-Right) DOWN=(Down NOT Down-Right) OR Down-Left OR (Left NOT Left-Up) RIGHT=(Right NOT Right-Up) OR Down-Right OR (Down NOT Down-Left) Using this mapping, the original cardinal directions SHOULD send signals to 2 separate inputs (i.e. Up SHOULD trigger both the UP command, and the LEFT command). |
