Title: Joystick Calibration
Post by: Mame818 on October 14, 2013, 03:02:26 pm
Hi Everyone ---

Recently some games on my Mame system have begun to pull very strongly left making the games basically unplayable (for example Paperboy and some other driving games).   For whatever reason, it doesn't seem to be doing this on every game but on some of them.

I am using a 4x8 switchable joystick (that is probably 5 years old).

Is this a joystick testing utility out there, so I can see if the joystick is off center?  Or is there potentially a software fix to such an issue?

Thank you

we probably need some more info...

what kind of joystick is it? what kind of encoder is it connected to?
which OS are you running?
which version of mame?
