Unused axes

(1/3) > >>

milhouse:
Anyone have any suggestions w/r/t unused joystick axes?  I have Pedals hooked up to an A-Pac.  This only requires 2 inputs, but the unused axes are still reported in windows.  For whatever reason, I get constant slight movement on these axes, which makes assigning keys / pedals in MAME and other games a pain, since it always reports their movement.  I've connected the unused to ground but without much effect.  Anyone have a solution?  I am hoping there is software that will allow me to disable the axes, but so far no luck.

Thanks.

I haven't attempted an "assist" in years so take my advice with a grain of salt...

An A-PAC emulates 2 gamepads, correct? In other words, that's how Windows sees them, right? Assuming you're only using the first one, could you just disable the second one in the Windows Device Manager?

I include lots of question marks since I don't actually have a solid answer.

P-chan:
What type of joystick?  Can you get in there and just remove the microswitches for those two axes?

AlanS17:
I think the OP means he's getting phantom movement from completely unused A-PAC terminals.

milhouse:
Yeah the axes aren't used/connected, but the driver still shows all the axes in Game Controllers / Mame.  And as far as I can tell, there is only one driver for the A-PAC -disabling it disables the entire device - its not separate.

Thanks.
