2-4-8-way switcher for 8-way-joysticks
<< < (2/9) > >>
bkenobi:
Maybe I'm just confused, but this is a bit of hardware that's sole purpose is to take the input from the joystick and algorithmically determine whether the stick should respond from your inputs. 

If you are looking for something to fix MAME, then why not just fix the MAME code instead?  MAME can be coded to do anything this can and probably more (since it's not running on a low powered controller). 

If this is for other systems, this makes perfect sense.  There are no other ways to do this type of thing outside of MAME that I'm aware of.

You can use it with MAME, but the intended purpose was for standalone arcade systems (as long as the used joystick is digital and 8-way). The E-Limitator will be interposed between your joystick and a gaming PCB or an interface to whatever you want (XBox, Playstation, PC etc) and this makes this motion filter all-purpose (excepting analog and optical joysticks).

You know, I think that's pretty damned cool -- certainly a nice solution for 48-in-1s and 60-in-1s.

Ahhh, ok.  That makes more sense!

Oj, thanks for the clarification
