--- Quote from: Tiger-Heli on May 02, 2005, 08:56:17 am ---are there any games that require single-axis? I thought most MAME games wanted dual axis, and I expected most high-end PC racing games to expect this also. --- End quote --- Any game in mame can use a single-axis setup. But for those games that expect seperate axes, if you use a single, you'll miss some of the game play as mentioned above. As for if a game needs single axis, that depends on how the game is emulated. If the game driver has "Pedal 1" & "Pedal 2" listed in the inputs, you can use seperate, whether of not the original game did. However, if the game driver uses "stick Y" for both gas & brake, you need single axis. I don't know if any are stick Y, OTTOMH. And the listinfo/listxml isn't detailed enough to easily search for them. FYI, when I first got into mame (~0.36b14), most drivers used stick Y. Since then, slowly many have moved over to pedel 1 & 2. However, if mame really wants to document properly, if the original game used a single axis, mame should too, IMO, even with the can't-use-seperate-axes problem it would cause. OTOH, inputs is one of the few areas mame is "loose" (and in some cases has to be if people want to play them). [shrug] |

I ended up wiring my gas and brake pedal combo as a single axis. Whenever I hooked them up as dual axis, I had trouble getting it to register that I wasn't pushing the pedal. I was using Mame32, so maybe that was part of the problem. Once I wired them up as a single axis, when I wasn't pushing any pedals, nothing moved. Anyway, that's what worked for me. |
