Anyone made a auto 4way/8way switching joystick?
bkenobi:
Is it just me, or does the servo flex the mounting bolts when it nears the end of motion? If so, you will probably see a premature failure of this setup. My guess would be the mounting holes on the servo will go, but something in there won't last IMO.
I like what you guys have come up with here! Perhaps one of the vendors will see the value in this and create a ready-to-install solution. :cheers:

Yeah it was just a quick put together, I wouldn't mount it like this if it was a real panel.
RetroBorg:
I have it working automatically in HyperSpin now by using a batch file but I'd like to eventually write a script for HyperLaunch to do it all within HyperSpin.
DaOld Man:
Sorry to revive this old thread, but I have an update that might interest someone who wants to automate the joystick.
I have just finished a Mala plugin that allows you to call bat files for the joystick position needed per game.
It is called JoyChoose.
JoyChoose can call just about any program that actually controls the servo motors.
It can be individual programs for each joystick position, or one program with arguments for each position.
JoyChoose can issue program requests for 8 way, 4 way, and 2 way.
Anyone thought about making a 2 way switch?
I havent uploaded it to the MalaFE website yet, just thought I would give you guys a sneak peek.
If you are interested in test driving JoyChoose, drop me a PM, I can email it to you.
Once it is available on the MalaFE site, I will announce it in the Mala Forum on here.
Anyway, here is a pic of the JoyChoose configure screen:

Sound interesting DaOld Man, I use HyperSpin and one of the members of the forum over there wrote an AutoHotkey script to do the same thing.
Where does JoyChoose get it's information on the joystick directions for each rom?
