720 Degrees Joysick - Fairly easy hack (I think)!

<< < (2/2)

jerryjanis... hook up with a dynamic IP service like www.dynodns.com if you want to use your cable modem service to host a website.  Last I checked, they were still free and allowed a port redirect (8080) like you are using.  There are lots of options if www.dynodns.com doesn't have all the features you are looking for.

Dynodns is really awesome...  And free ?!?

I set it up to work, and I redirected my domain to dynodns.  My domain name is hosted in France ($10/year!)...  France->Dyno->My home...  That's really awesome - it apparently constantly watches my IP address, and if it changes, it's automatically changes the redirection!  Rad!

I'm constantly adding information onto the website.  

One thing I've managed to do, if anyone is interested, is to create a MAME build that allows 8-Way digital joysticks to be used with 720', mapping each direction to a spinner position.  The old method only mapped left and right on the joystick to make you spin clockwise/counterclockwise, which doesn't play very well.  In some ways, this method is better than using a regular spinner.  Where the spinner is weak, the 8-way is strong, and where the 8-way is weak, the spinner is strong.  Go figure.

Try this (my fingers are crossed!):
