TOKN KB16 (Tiger-Heli's Testing Complete)

<< < (11/19) > >>

KevSteele:
Just an FYI:

I've revised my review, thanks to another TOKN16 donated by Monkeybomb(thanks, dude!)

http://www.retroblast.com/reviews/tokn16.html

I encountered the same exact problems as Tiger-Heli with this encoder. It's basically useless for MAME (or at least, for any game other than Pac-Man).

Don't have any real excuses, unfortunately: I tried to rush out a couple of reviews and royally screwed up this one.  :'(

Thanks, Tiger - I appreciate the perseverance and testing.

Was just looking at the TOKN website after reading Kevin's revised review ... is this document new (I don't recall seeing it when I looked before)?

There is a pretty big disclaimer that states the the Ctrl key can not be used in conjunction with any other key and that the P1B1 should be remapped to something other than Ctrl. The document suggests that future revisions to the firmware may correct this problem.

Hmmm.

Cheers.

I guess I need to revise my revision to include this detail: I tested with and without the Ctrl key mapped to button 1, and was able to easily reproduce the ghosting with or without the Ctrl key. It made absolutely no difference in the ghosting problem in my testing.

It's amazing to me how many 3-key combos will cause ghosting on this device - I tried all sorts of combos, and I'd guess 75-80% of the three-key combos I used cause ghost keys.

Wow, someone is still using that old thing?  If a key counter would be a useful addition, I'm sure I could scrape up the source and add one.  In fact GhostKey is long overdue for a transition to windows... one more project to add to my list. ::)
