---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, I honestly never knew you could adjust that sort of thing within Mame.

k, so  you are saying that by adjusting some things in mame, those games are playable?  maybe i totally misread your statement, but you gave me a glimmer of hope.  and im guessing i could just make a ctrlr file for each game with the special sensitivity config??  :dunno
Howard_Casto:
No you have to go into each individual game and do it manually within mame.  Why the ctrlr files don't support it is beyond me. I know that the way mame parses the various files it would be difficult to implement, but it seems important enough that the effort should be made. 


You need to read the mame docs man, this is an old feature.  How you could not know of it is beyond me considering "analog controls" is an option in mame's menu whenever you press tab in a game with any analog controls.

the reason i dont know about it is because i didnt know the official control type name ikari warriors and robot monsters used.  sorry i dont get my thrills from knowing every conceivable control type for every game.  ikari warriors = analog controls  :dunno  sounds good to me. 

btw, a simple "its in the mame docs, but you just need to set the analog sensitivity for each game in the mame menu" would have sufficed.  but i guess im used to this kinda of crap from you howard  :dizzy:

I don't mean to pick on you man, but I'm getting sick and tired of people acting like I've been rude to them when I haven't been.  You para-phrased exactly what I said!

When I said "how you could not know that is beyond me" I didn't mean anything other than exactly what I've said, perhaps you are reading too much into it? 

Analog settings have been in mame for at least 5 years that I know of, and in the tab menu like they are now, so like I said they are nothing new and I honestly don't see how you could miss them seeing as how "analog controls" shows up everytime you go into the menu. Maybe I should have been more clear... analog controls only show up when a game has analog controls, that's how you know you can set them! :)

I really don't appreciate you mocking the fact that I know a lot about controls either.  I don't enjoy it, I had to do it because we didn't get much help with controls.dat.  So thanks a bunch for insulting me for doing all kinds of hard work for YOUR benefit. 

Surely you at least knew that robot monsters wouldn't use a digital controller?

I'm very sorry if I've offended you, but let me nipp this right in the budd.  (I deal with this over at consoles enough, I don't need anybody starting here.)


I am an honest person so you should take what I say in no other form but literally.  If I think you are a jerk, I'll say "I think you are a jerk!"  If I think you are stupid, I'll say "You are stupid"  If I say something like "I don't know how you could have missed it, that is exactly what I mean.

So I apologize if your feelings were hurt.  To use the same phrase again though, how anything that I said could have hurt your feelings is beyond me. :dunno
