How do you do that?

Matthew Fisher:

Sooo, what I'm getting here is that IF I could find linear pots of the same size and same quality as the Happ's, I'd be OK.

There isn't a deadzone setting in the tab menu (Analog Controls), just digital speed, autocenter speed, reverse and sensitivity.

I know there is the a2d_deadzone in mame.ini, but this is analog to digital deadzone so doesn't apply to analog games.

I've never seen a deadzone setting on a system level but I'd love to hear if it is there...

Oops.

It's Unreal Tournament that has the deadzone adjustments in it, not MAME.

It depends. ;)

The deadzone could be from:


* the hardware (such as the 'S' taper POTs),
* the driver (my gravis Xterminator digital pro driver has it, but it doesn't use the normal control panel game controller window),
* the app (through directX),
* "poor" programming of other apps that apply/change a deadzone, but then don't return to default on exit (reboot removes it).
