What's up with that? Are you, in fact, a troll?

I have to report that it seems to work quite well. Unfortunately adding another hacked input device is not going to be acceptable. So I had to break down and add Real/Fake handling.

That is great! Except you spoiled the fun of figuring it out on my own. :lol
I'll test it out over the weekend with a spinner, an analog stick, and a spinner modified to have two encoders like a real controller and see how it works.

I will test it with the real controller once it arrives. I can test with a spinner as well, but it probably won't be until later in the weekend. I am upgrading the cab PC to Windows 7 64 tonight, and it will take some time to get everything set up again.

And here I thought the fact that no non troll posted any interest in trying to code it meant that no one was trying. ;D ;)

Great, for the spinner also try it under the "Real" selection. You will notice how it does not work when you kick to move. The player goes in random direction. This is why the "Spinner" selection is added to automatically send the calibration pulse. This means you can also use the mouse under the "Spinner" selection, but it is not as easy as a spinner.
As far as using a "spinner modified to have two encoders like a real controller", this will only work if they have the same tooth count/ratio/positions as the 2 real discs. The Rotation disc has 72 teeth, and the Center disc has 2 only at the top. Trying anything else will not result in a meaningfull test. Sorry, but thanks.

abara - I told you to mellow your tone. You didn't. 3 day ban in effect. You seem genuinely interested, I'd love to see you contribute, but I won't have your attitude here. Try again when you come back.
