  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
Hi, first post here

I have been playing Food Fight on MAMEUIFX-0.174-64 bit and am using a XBOX-360 wired controller plugged into my PC

From my understanding, the original “food fight” had a 49 way analogue joystick

However, when I play the game in MAME, using the left analogue controller for movement, I can only move up, down, left, right and diagonally Up/left, up/right, down/left, down/right

Is there a way to change any settings, so that my analogue controller can mimic the original 49 way joystick??

If so, can someone explain how to do it??

Currently I am using the following controller layout in the link below (unmodified) for all games in MAME:

Thanks

Welcome aboard, Jimmybog.   ;D
From my understanding, the original “food fight” had a 49 way analogue joystick
Minor point of correction, but a 49-way (7x7 optical) joystick isn't the same as an analog (potentiometer) joystick.

Pgs. 25 and 27 of the manual here show that the Food Fight stick has potentiometers.

However, when I play the game in MAME, using the left analogue controller for movement, I can only move up, down, left, right and diagonally Up/left, up/right, down/left, down/right
In the "Input (this Game)" menu, have you set the following to "none"? (press Enter then Esc)
- "AD Stick X Analog Inc"
- "AD Stick X Analog Dec"
- "AD Stick Y Analog Inc"
- "AD Stick Y Analog Dec"

Scott, i will check what these values are set to when I get home tonight.

Are you saying that they should be set to NONE or asking if I have incorrectly set them to NONE ??

Yes, if you are using an analog joystick.

In Food Fight, the "inc" and "dec" settings (along with the digital speed/autocenter speed settings in the Analog Controls menu) are used to simulate an analog (potentiometer) joystick when you only have a digital (8-way) joystick.
