Joystick problem
« on: February 11, 2007, 12:26:07 pm »
I've recently starting having a problem and I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else and what the problem is. When I play Burgertime the joystick works great for about 15 seconds then after that you can't get it to go right anymore. It will go right until the 15,or so, seconds runs out then it quits working properly. I thought it might be a problem with stick, setup etc....so I tried other games and they work fine. It used to work great. Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

"Joystick" is pretty generic information.  What type of stick?  How is it connected to your PC?   Through what kind of wiring / hardware?

I don't remember what kind of joystick it is. I got it together in a package deal on Ebay with buttons for like 35 bucks. So it has to be a standard cheapo stick for Mame cabinets. Sorry about that. I'm using an IPac to connect it to the computer. Wish I could be more descriptive but I only understand about half this stuff. I got enough of it to get the cabinet working though!   :) Thanks again.
