Title: Controller Question
Post by: Portnoy on September 28, 2008, 04:03:03 pm

I just realized that I may have wired myself into not being able to play anything but MAME.  I have the GGG encoder wired to all of my player buttons and I also have the Ultimarc Ultra Joys.  The issue is they are both seen as separate joysticks by the other emus like Project64 and Null DC for instance.  So when I pick a joystick to define the controls I have a choice of buttons only or joystick control only.  Is my only option to get the button harness from Ultimarc and wire the Ulitmarc joys to the buttons? If I do this is there any risk of damage since I already have the GGG encoder wired to said buttons?  Will woody go straight to the police?

Thanks

Joy2Key (google it) might be one option.  It turns Joystick directions into keypresses.  You should be able to get everything, relatively, to be a keypress from the joy.  However your going to lose the 'analog' nature of the joystick.  Not sure if it works in reverse or can convert say, a keypress into a button on a specific gamepad.  Autohotkey may be able to help there as well.
