Hey everyone,
I've got a 4 player panel built with 4 simple competition sticks as the main inputs. I also have a dedicated 4 way, spinner, and an
Analog PC triggerstick (for Tron of course). I went with the analog stick so that it could be used for some of the analog games like Space Harrier and Afterburner, and it works good for Tron except of course for the light cycles level.
I've got a poor mans workaround right now of just using the dedicated 4-way and a pushbutton for that game, then moving back to the spinner and analog stick for the other 3 games. It works, but is cumbersome enough for me; much less any guests to the cabinet. I recently found out that versions of Mame higher than .118 i think have an mapping feature for analog joysticks similar to the Ultrastik 360s. (I'm using V.127 so it should work)
Ive pieced together all the information that I've found so far about this feature and have gotten HeadKaze's MameJoyMap application with the custom maps for Tron, Qbert, etc. but I'm really at a loss to figure out where exactly to go from there. In my Mame.ini file, I have found the Joystick_map option- set to auto. Is there something in the Mame.ini that needs to be changed, or is it something in the individual control files for each game?
Thanks for any help, I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure this out ever since I got off work today
