--- Quote from: isucamper on September 26, 2009, 10:44:38 am ---that game used an optical rotary that spun freely (no clicks) so it's unlikely that the MAME team would support positional controls on it. it does play great with a regular joystick and a turbo twist high low spinner though! --- End quote --- Thanks--attractive. Or one could use a trigger stick & a normal spinner if you want to be able to fire & grenade simultaneously. However, even though I've got a bajillion controls on my Frankenpanel, using rotary sticks with semi-accurate rotariness is my best option for 2-player action. Thanks, -Jason |

High-low = 2 buttons or 1 button? I don't have (or really want) a spinner, but that's pretty cool! |

you get one button with a push and another button with a pull i have the machine gun firing on a push, but i didn't map the grenades to the pull. i've got a button pretty close to the and I can hit it for grenades. I tried it wth grenades on the pull and didn't like it much (kinda messed with my accuracy). |

I'm trying to think back, way back ... to the 1980s. I played Ikari Warriors a handful of times and if I ever do a cabinet, full Ikari support is a must. So, I have a recollection from my childhood. Didn't Ikari click as you rotated the joystick into predetermined positions or is the clicking feature a figment of my imagination. Do these optical and mechanical solutions support clicking into positions every 1/8 turn or whatever it was that Ikari was based upon? That way as you are moving, you don't accidentally twist 1/8 turn at an inopportune time. Just my thoughts on this thread that seem to have not been discussed. Then again I am a big time newbie. I have two co-workers that plan on doing a full blow MAME cabinet and I might be the third. We will be working this together if we all do it so that should make for a fun thread. |

My mechanical rotary sticks click when I spin them. I don't think I've ever accidentlally rotated them--the detents in the mechanism prevent accidental rotation. -Jason |
