| Best "flying" trigger stick for Tron? |

| Diewrecked:
Excellent! This seems to be the way forward then. I don't suppose you (or anyone) know anywhere in the UK I could source one of these at all do you please? Many thanks as usual all |

Price up to to $9.99, was going to use for Tron but saw that the spec's state "a non-auto centering throttle wheel that stays in place once it has been positioned." Now if you just want to hack the handle to a happs 8-way... |

I have one of those and it's not particularly good for Tron. It's an analog stick and doesn't calibrate well in MAME. I have a Happ 8-way top-fire stick and I wonder if it would be possible to hack a new handle for it. |

I gotta get a guy at work to fix it for me. I'm thinking a map like this might work well for TRON: 836 778888899 Note that the numeric digits correspond to the keys 837 778888899 on a numeric keypad. So '7' maps to up+left, '4' maps 838 44S888S66 to left, '5' maps to neutral, etc. In addition to the 839 444555666 numeric values, you can specify the character 's', 840 444555666 which means "sticky". In this case, the value of the 841 444555666 map is the same as it was the last time a non-sticky 842 44S222S66 value was read. 843 112222233 844 112222233 Which would result in a "-joystick_map" command line that looks like this: -joystick_map 778888899.778888899.44S888S66.444555666.444555666.444555666.44S222S66.112222233.112222233 |
