ultraset - new program to set modes for Ultimarc's Ultrastik 360

<< < (2/3) > >>

Space Fractal:
Is its possible to change this program to use names instead of numbers? Its because of the upcoming MultiFE to Linux (which I still need to testing, so not sure when it release, so no date).

ETC there is no info on the ultimarc for how to updating the firmware, if a user have a older one installed? So I think you might want to sure it works with all firmware? Or is the limit the same in the C# version?

In MultiFE it send these possible strings to a prepost command line application before launch mame:

 pinball, tron, djoy4way, lightgun, trackball, stick, dial, joy2way, joy4way, joy8way.

where:
 tron is a joy8way joystick with a hard to reach diagonal (but not impossible).
 dial = act like a trackball (Mouse).
 pinball = analog (default).
 stick = analog (default).

If I can, I see I can alter the code to been accept these strings and include in the final Linux version of MultiFE when released (no date).

2600:
Diagonal 4-way shouldn't be a problem.  What you may be encountering is more recent versions of MAME have mapped the inputs to diagonal already.  Therefore, you either need to remap the controls in MAME or when playing a diagonal game don't map it as a diagonal.

Glad to see some people know how to use the open source nature of my project properly.

2600:  That could be, it seems fairly consistent with what I'm observing.  Getting Q*Bert working is lower on my priority list, as I'm still trying to perfect my cabinet :)

Space Fractal:  That's a possibility.  I wanted to add file handling and real names instead of numbers in the next version.  It was easier for me to parse only one byte on the command line than a string.  A quick-and-dirty fix for that is a wrapper script for the time being.

whammoed:  I'm not sure what the difference is with the restrictor.  I don't use them on my cabinet, 2600, any light on that subject?

I answered my own question in subsequent post...Your code has it set to no restrictor so you are good for your cab.

It's more of what does that code do.  I thought the restrictors were just a piece of plastic to restrict the stick's motion.
