Done.  Doesn't everyone realize that they can do that?

I'm guessing that sense jerryjanis has the 720 controller and has skate or die on his profile that he has played the game once or twice.  Any opinion he shares is definitely from experience on original equipment and, to me, is qualified to give an "expert" opinion.

That being said some asshat one is going to come along and tell him he's wrong.   :-\

I think he's wrong.  Everyone knows 720 was controlled with soviet grade micro-trolls

They are going to port Mame to the XBOX 720?  What about game room?

I think it derailed in just the nick of time. It was going nowhere fast. with any luck, we have a work around soon so those that actually have one of these controllers can use it on their cabs. I think that number is really small right now, but there is a repro being made, so that may change in the future. I still can't think of any other controllers that don't work with MAME, so if anyone knows, please list them.

I think this thread had a good effect though. I have wanted to dig into the MAME code for a long time, but never have. Now my interest is renewed, and hopefully I can help a little with the development - both for cab related stuff (I am really interested in the work being done on outputs), and for MAME in general. There is so much information in the source. It is really an incredible documentation effort.

The point about the analog controls being a perfect compromise really reinforces what Haze was saying. People can test the game with a pretty good approximation of how the game is supposed to feel, and they can do it with normal PC controllers. To me, it is not a big deal to compile the changes for features that are not supported in MAME, but they do need to be available.
