PC Arcade Controller MKII

<< < (3/3)

Cretster:
I've got one of these, and now that I am setting my machine up I'm finding a problem in the fact that some of the 'keys' it's mapped to are daft ones like Left & Right Windows keys (meaning windows start menu pops up in game whilst playing if you hit a couple of the buttons!!).  Another of the mapped keys seems to kill the front end or the emulator so straight off it seems to have at least 3 out of the available buttons that are unusable which is pretty crazy.

Apologies to the designer if that's not necessarily the case but I would LOVE to know if there's a way around this since it's ultimately going to be useless for me if I can't use all my buttons.

I guess one possible fix is to run the emu or FE as the shell on the pc instead of explorer, but I can't do that as I need it functioning as a PC as well.  There must be some other way surely, as it would be nuts to choose these keys otherwise, knowing what functions they normally perform!

Apologies if I'm overlooking something glaringly obvious!

Cretster:
Well, here's an update after speaking to the guy I bought this from - very helpful.

Unfortunately this is down to my own stupidity in losing the instructions since it's very clearly explained how to sort this issue out.  :banghead:
There's a registry file that you download and it disables the left & right win keys.  That's it!

That will teach me to read them straight away next time before the instructions go awol!! :-[

If you have a gutted Tankstick you can use this:

Awecades Arcade32 Interface Controller (DELUXE VERSION)



It has a trackball/spinner interface built in too.  An all in one solution.  And not bad for a mere $34.99.

I've just bought the Mk 3 version. Its loads better.  There's a 'Pause Game' input as well.

The MK 3 is now on ebay.....
