I need a front end that lets me scroll with gamepad buttons
« on: December 11, 2005, 11:45:36 am »
Ok, I'm looking for one feature in a front-end.  Basically, I have a control panel where I want to have 2 buttons that are used for scrolling through a game list in the front end, and a third button that selects the game (like the enter key).  The catch is that it is using a gamepad hack of sorts, and I don't want it to use the up/down axis on the gamepad.  I've made myself a custom build of AdvanceMenu that lets me do this, but I'd like something prettier, like AtomicFE or MameWah.  Do either of these allow for this type of a setup?  How about something else, like Dragon King or Ultrastyle?

Thanks in advance!

Dk probabaly can do it.  I say it that way because I rarely check the status of the joypad code so something might be broken.  ;)

You could always use joy2key...  Then you could use any front end you want.

Haven't used AtomicFE, and I didn't notice on Ultrastyle, but mameWAH will support pretty much any control that's used by MAME - joystick, mouse, spinner, analog, whatever.

I plan to try out Dragon King tomorrow night (or tonight if time allows).  I whipped up a quick theme, and did some basic configs.  Now I just have to hook it up to my control panel and give it a whirl.

Thanks again, Howard!
