Cool, just got my interfaces today also.


Gotta build a new control panel for the new sticks.


Later,

I'm planning to order my 4 later tonight.
Now if someone can just figure out an easy way to have automatic switching...

Check out GameEx. http://www.gameex.net/ it already supports automatic mode switching based on controls.ini. Since Randy's app uses the same conventions for modes as the batch files I did, there's no reason it shouldn't work just as easily.

Wow, looks slick Randy.  My 49-way and encoder showed up today, so this weekend I'll be making my first ever CP to check it out.  From messing around with it just out of the box, I love the feel of the stick and will probably be ordering another shortly.  Now I need to figure out where to get some screws and read up on how to mount the stick.

I was thinking about this earlier... it should be fairly straight forward to get this working for the vast number of games now without really doing anything to mamewah.  I think that you can use the control type from mame as a commandline arg. I know this is not as accurate as controls.ini but will do for now.  Then build a .bat file that can call the gpwiz utility with the correct number.  Then call this before mame is called for each game.   I'm going to take a look at doing this but don't know how soon I will get to it as I have not hooked up the sticks yet.

In the future it would be great if minwah can parse out the control.ini file for a more accurate version of this but I think this will be a decent stop gap for mamewah users.

Randy,

I hooked one of the MAX's I received today up and it won't change modes through the software switching.  It always stays in 49-way mode.  I haven't tried the button way yet...

Any suggestions?  Any data I need to give you?  I'm running Windows XP SP2 and checking the joystick through the Windows 'Game Controllers' properties.  Software loads up, detects Device 1 as yellow light, Midway joystick selected.  Click on any of the modes and press Go, light for Device 1 turns green and the program closes.  I go to verify the mode in 'Game Controllers' and it remains in 49-way mode.
