Hi everyone. I'm running mamewah 1.61 on windows xp home and using a logitech wingman digital extreme joystick. I've used the joystick successfully with mame launched from dos, with turbomame front end, with mame32 front end, but I am having a little trouble with mamwah. I can use the joystick to select games from the mamewah screen, but once the game is launched it no longer responds to the joystick. I expect my problem is coming from my lack of understanding of the ini setup. I had trouble, but eventually got a custom layout, so I'm sure I can get this, I just need a nudge in the right direction. |

There's a variable called "joystick" in the "Input Device Options" section of the mame.ini file. Set it to 1, and you should be set. |

Hm, the trick seems to have been to go to the mame.ini file that's in the mamewah directory and add the -joystick switch to the commanline format. |

Note this is a mame config issue and not mamewah... |

Actually the .99 version of mame that I'm running doesn't have a miscellaneous options section in the mame.ini file. It's set up with the ctrlr folder. I looked in every ini file I could find and didn't see any joystick feilds. What I needed to do was learn how this controller folder setup works. The mame ini file I have in the mame directory only has a few path names in it. |
