I would want if the last good direction is UP and the next output from the joystick is UP/RIGHT, then DO NOTHING until there is only RIGHT.

Meaning just ignore the diagonals and only register the cardinals.


Can someone post an example of  MAME config file with the NOT function being used?

Something like Up = Up NOT Up/Left NOT Up/Right?

Is this possible?

Thanks

If you do this, and you roll the joystick, the game will register a return to center as the deadzone is hit right? It won't keep pressing in the last direction that was pressed. Works decent for Qbert, but nearly every other game has a problem with it.

I know some of you guys really want to avoid having another joystick on your cab, or another cab in the game room but lets think about this. You are building an entire cabinet to simulate the realism of an arcade cabinet. One of the last places you want to skimp is on the controls.
