Single Joystick control of Defender and Battlezone (patch), ROTJ mouse patch...

[artyfarty]

I had a look at the diff file for occurrences of williams_input_port_0_r (which appears to be what is giving compile errors), and replaced the two instances that I found with stargate_input_port_0_r and defender_input_port_0_r in the respective sections.

After applying this modified patch, the compile succeeds, and I get the option for 8-way joystick in defender.

Not sure whether this breaks anything else?

Those are the only two changes, and exactly what I thought I uploaded.  This is getting comical...

Thanks for the patch, much appreciated.  Martin

That did the trick for me too.  Complied with no problems.  Thanks so much..

Just thought I'd add a note for others who might find this post for the same reasons as me.

I originally discovered this thread when searching for a MAME binary that included the defender patch for a 4-way or 8-way joystick.

If you are looking for a MAME binary that already includes support for 8-way joystick control of defender, battlezone and stargate, go and get h0tw1r3's UXME fork of MAME.

See h0tw1r3's post at http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=146146.0 or download from his UXME site at https://build.zaplabs.com/project/uxme/

So who's got the high score for 8way control Defender ?

In case someone is still interested, here's the LUA script that does the same, but does not require patching the exe. It has some limitations though for which I'm still trying to figure out the solution.
