Hi all,
Could use a hand in understanding what I need to do to make things work out right.
I'm building a custom control panel that will be a slightly modified SlikStik Co2 unit.
What it will have is Happ 49-ways in place of the normal 8-ways on GP-wiz49's, the top firing joysticks found on the normal Co2 unit, and a flightstick in place of the dedicated 4-way joystick. Everything but the 49-ways are going on an I-pac4
My question is, Is there a way to set this up globaly so that all of the joysticks work properly, or do I need to redefine inputs on the games I wish to use the extra hardware?
I.e. Can I set things up globaly so that when I launch Crazy Climber, Robotron, or Smash TV the secondary joysticks work immediately, and then if I launch say Afterburner the Flightstick works immediately?
Or do I need to redefine the inputs when I launch the games and program in the controls I wish to use for the unusual games?
I did try searching, and the impression I'm getting is my extra hardware will need configured as Player 1, Player 2, and Player 3 for the extra 3 joysticks in the Ipac and then game specifically defined.
Any help is appriciated as this is my first attempt at building my own CP.
(Yes, I realize I'm going to have a "Frakenpanel". I figured I'd do this for my first attempt and then when I'm more comfortable do a modular one)
