Fixing MAME's handling of 12-position rotary controls
Kremmit:
Wouldn't it be even cleaner to strip out the CW and CCW keystrokes entirely, and convert directly between the 12 way switch and the SNK driver?
mahuti:
Right. Exactly.

i prefer the druin's method, because you don't have any always-on keys, which might interfere with front-ends or general windows use.
i don't see any reason why the druin's solution couldn't be made 100% accurate. (unless there's some defect in the druin's hardware that i'm not aware of. but i suspect the druin's is fine and all the problems people are seeing are the result of mame's problems.)

There is probably nothing wrong with Druin's board. I built a rotary interface and I know it works accurately, because I can open up notepad and rotate the handles and I will always get 1 letter for every turn. However, in Ikari I often get 1 too many or too few clicks.

OK, I finally got MAME Analog+ working with my rotary interface so now it is exactly 1 rotation for every click of the LS-30. I felt retarded because I was following all the instructions and I could not get the latest version .9 to work. So I decided to download an earlier version and all the problems went away. It worked perfectly without any adjustments.
I tested every version and it appears that the last one to work correctly with a Druin-type rotary interface is MameAnalog+ ver. 0.83.2.
Maybe I'm still missing something to why the later versions don't work, but anyway Ikari rocks now.
