Yesterday, I got my Tankstick in the mail...and I felt like a kid at xmas...It looks nice...Also the measurements on my cab holds the Tankstick well....I then proceeded to hook the unit to my PC and check evevrything....I'm running Maximus Arcade and then it started to kick my tail. I read the manual and I read where I had to download the x-arcade cfg file to be placed in MA... My concern is this and I was hoping if there are anyone who is famialer with the X-arcades...The Tankstick has 4 modes...1 mode is the prescribed setting and the other 3 is where you can program the keys....is it better to stick with the main setting or does evevryone reprograms the setting for the better of their use?.... Also are there any other problems I should be aware of? |

i dont have a tankstick, but i do have a 2 player unit. if you are only using it for mame, there should be no need to reprogram it. i programmed mine so that i could play some PC games with it too. i wanted to play DOOM and it doesnt allow for alot of keybaord customization, so therefore i had to reprogram the keys. as for the cfg file, it is usually included with MAME when you download it, you just have to tell it to use that cfg. (this can be set in mame.ini) |

My goal for my cab is to play MAME, Daphne, Pinballs, NES/Sega, Mugen Common sense is telling me that I am going to have to take a day off work and sit all day and change the default controls to the button and joystick movements on the x-arcade, and that is just MAME. Now last night I ran to a neighbor's house that had internet and I downloaded the cfg file...( it said to place in the prefs file in the Maximus Arcade folder...) Now when I opened my MAME 32 ver 129, I opened X-Men, and Mortal Kombat...I noticed that the joysticks alone wouldnt work...untill I assigned them.... I guess my deal is that I thought that this was going to be a simple fix...plug & play and rock n roll.... |

I have a Tankstick too. Most FE's already have the .cfg in their file, so you shouldn't even need to download it. The trackball works like a mouse so if you play bowling games and Golden Tee, you have to enable it. I'm using MAME32 so I just clicked the enable mouse button. As far as your joysticks not working right off the bat, it's probably that you either have Num Lock on or off. I can't remember which one X-Arcade uses. So give that a shot. You should never have to reassign your joys. |
| Visitor Q:
I have the two player unit and it works great. Infact I am going to be selling mine here since I now built a CP and have a upright arcade. It's cool that you can buy all the adapters for it to use it with different console systems. I use it on my original xbox from time to time, never an issue. |
