Arkanoid style movment in mame?
« on: January 01, 2009, 11:26:38 am »
I was wondering, how does a person set up a game like Arkanoid so that the dial works like a dial or wheel? My Dial is a joy stick x_axis. so left goes left and right goes right. but when I turn my dial to the left the game paddle should be on the left side not start moving left?

in other words like the mouse.. If my x_axis goes from -256 (left) - to 0 ( center ) - to 256 (right). Then when its -256 my paddle on the game should be all the way left,. 0 should be centered and 256 should be right. Surly mame supports that right? Can I tell mame my joystick is a paddle or mouse some how?


After think this over and testing whit emulation software what I really need to know is if mame can treat the joystick in absolute mode?
