--- Quote from: GamingGreg on June 27, 2003, 02:19:36 pm ---Thanks for that clarification. If I understand you correctly with the Spy Hunter example, you couldn't use JOY1 X-axis for the wheel AND use JOY1 Y-axis for the pedal, as these are different devices to the game. However, something like JOY1 X-axis for the wheel AND JOY2 X-axis for the pedal would work. I hope that's correct. --- End quote --- Um, not quite. You can use JOY1 X-axis for the wheel and JOY1 Y-axis for the pedel; for both the game sees the true analog input from the devices. You can use JOY1 X-axis for the wheel and JOY2 X-axis for the pedel; for both the game sees the true analog input from the devices. You can use JOY1 X-axis for the wheel and JOY1 X-axis for the pedel; for both the game sees the true analog input from the devices. Although controling the car would be hard. ;) You should not use JOY1 X-axis and JOY1 Y-axis (and JOY2 X-axis) for the wheel; mame will only see one of the two (or three) inputs as analog while the other (two) are seen as digital. When I say "analog device", I mean the whole flightstick device, or the whole gamepad object, or the whole wheel + pedals set, including all of the 2 to 8 analog axes. --- Quote ---I also suppose that most people using a steering wheel and pedals on their cabinet are also using MAME Analog+ for this very reason. It would be nice if those remaining features of Analog+ finally make it into the official MAME builds. That way everyone would "be on the same page". Sounds like it may eventually happen. --- End quote --- Both mame and Analog+ are "on the same page" as far as handling analog inputs. Mame was very quick on accepting the analog input changes I submitted (took one version). Analog+'s "strengths" currently are mostly in mouse and lightgun inputs, plus the max 8 joystick devices vs mame's 4. --- Quote ---Thanks again u_rebelscum for your help and all your great work on Analog+! :) --- End quote --- You're welcome. :) --- Quote ---On a different note, I've been working on the layout of my control panel, and I think I'll probably use two hacked joysticks (digital base with flight stick handle) instead of two analog PC joysticks. Then when I play a game that needs an analog joystick (there aren't many from what I understand), I'll bring out an analog PC flight stick with some sort of removable mount on it and plug it into a USB port mounted in the front of the cabinet. I'm thinking of a mount similar to what Frostillicus described in this thread here. http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=8961 --- End quote --- I like this idea better than the two analog sticks; it's better for most games. |
