i'm ready to button up my arcade cab. there are two things this cab does. rune mame and skjukebox. i have built a controller with the GP-Wiz 32 Input USB Controls Interface and have been using joy2key program to send keystrokes to the games. when i set the joy2key program to autorepeat it works great in skjukebox and i can hold the joystick to slide through the virtual cds. but when i play a mame game, the auto repeat makes the movement start and stop. for example, lets say i am playing galaga and and want to move from left to right, the motion isn't smooth, it is stop and go. what i want to do is have the keys repeat in skjukebox but still have smooth movement. Its hard to explain the problem. In the past i have used gamepad hacks and also keyboard hacks and everything worked great. Smooth scrolling and quick transitions in skjukebox. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance and thanks for the great forums. |

I think that You're using the wrong interface for the job you want to do here!! I would personally not have used a GPWiz. I think you really need to be using a Keywiz in this instance, as far as I know, that would solve your problem. That said, you might want to mail Randy and ask his advice on this, or hope that he catches this thread and helps out here. Best Regards, Julian (Fozzy The Bear) |

The native gamepad assignments perform much better and JoytoKey is only adding a layer of unnecessary intervention. Disable JoytoKey before running MAME and you will have no more problems. You could also try a different translator like RBJoy, which might perform better. RandyT |

The only reason I can see to use Joy2key while gaming is to use it while in your front end only. I have a GPWiz and have no problems while playing a game in MAME. I do however run it for my frontend to load games, esc to windows, shut down. Like Randy said, you shouldn't have to use joy2key while in MAME. |
