Just had to share the good news. Since the Frontline rotary controller always has 1 or 2 microswitches in the closed position I wired in a small black rocker switch to cut the ground to the controller when I'm not using it. Kind of a pain to configure the controller at first. I turned the dial to a non diagonal position up/down/left/right so that only one microswitch was activated. The switches are adjustable so I loosened that one microswitch and slid it back until it was released like all the others. I then configured it in mame just like a regular joystick entering only left/right/up/down using a small flat screwdriver to activate one switch at a time. Just like a regular joystick the diagonals automaticly work once the L/R/U/D positions are entered. Once finished I slid the one microswitch back into position and tightened it up. The press down fire feature of this controller programs just like a regular push button. The controller works absolutely PERFECT ! :D Kudos to Birdtales for supplying the controller. Thanks again. S.M. |

Glad to hear it worked out! One thing. If might have been easier to configure the controller if you used the ctrlr/ini input files. Learning the ctrlr file layout vs taking apart the controller. *shrug* Maybe next time, huh? ;) BTW, http://www.mameworld.net/easyemu/mamecontrolini.htm and docs/ctrlr.txt are the best places to learn about the ctrlr/ini files. |

Frontline! That's the game we used to play at the arcade when I was in gradeschool! I've been trying to think of the name for a long time now. It's an awesome game. Is it possible to play it using a Tron setup with an 8-way trigger stick and optical spinner? |
