Title: RAM, USB Star Wars Yoke-- best settings?
Post by: MameMaster! on April 26, 2010, 12:45:02 pm

Hi Everyone---

I finally got the yoke all set up in my cab-- but I'm still having trouble getting the settings right for the horizontal (X?) movement.

Currently, I'm restricted to approx 3" off center to the left and right. I have full up/down movement with no issues.

I went into the analog settings and played with them for quite a while for Star Wars, but can't make that horizontal movement any wider no matter what I tried.

I didn't have this issue with the Dual Strike hack-- but I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. I have joysticks enabled within Mame and again, the yoke/USB interface appears to be working fine overall.

Hmmm--- maybe I should be adjusting this within WindowsXP (my operating system) as a joystick, rather than within mame?

FYI-- I'm running Mame32 on that cab.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
PS-- look for my review and article soon on the the yoke in GameRoom! (gameroommagazine.com)

Did you calibrate the yoke in Windows? (under Control Panel, Game Controllers)

Nope-- that was part of my suspicions---BACK INTO THE LABORATORY!  :afro: (thanks!!)

Thanks Havok-- I kept trying to adjust it in Mame and now I see why that simply won't work. Since his USB gadget turns it into a joystick that the PC recognizes, you have to adjust it there.

Thanks!  :cheers:

My review for GameRoom so far (the yoke and USB adapter) -----  WOW.  :afro:
