49-ways, the new 8-ways?
NoOne=NBA=:
On the opposite side of this, I am curious how well the 49-ways will act in games that originally had TRUE analog controls.
I'm guessing that they will perform fairly well because you get a direction and distance from center signal from them; but wanted to know if anyone had tried them on games like Star Wars, Road Runner, etc...

I have the same question as NoOneNBA, was thinking these might work for afterburner, or food fight, which I think both had analog sticks??
thanks,

Once again I would like to know if anyone has tried this - Road Runner or Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters etc?
Paige have you tried yours yet?

Just some quick comments to some things asked earlier in the thread:
MAME has a delay before it registers a direction with an analog stick - it's called A2D deadzone.
It also has settings to try to restrict the directions in 4-way games, but it doesn't work that well since the stick is not restricted.
MAME does a pretty good job with analog sticks for digital games (1942 on a PC joystick, fair for pacman on a PC joystick).
MAME does poorly with digital controls on analog games (Happ Competitions in Paperboy, Star Wars, etc.)

This is only when using an analog stick for a digital input tho isn't it? 'A2D' being Analog to Digital presumably...
As for MAME not dealing too well with digital controls on analog games, I guess you can't get something from nothing :-\
