star wars yoke calibration, Y-axis skips
« on: April 15, 2006, 05:55:15 pm »
I use MameWah, I wired a genuine star wars yoke to USB useing the AKI Kontroller. The x-axis is fine, but the Y-axis seems to skip. I tried playing with the Mamewah/cntrl.ini as far as sensitivity, dead zone, etc, but I can't fix it. I also tried to play with analog settings within the Star wars game itself but still not perfect. Anyone else had this trouble? What setting did you use to fix it?

Thanks

Have you tried looking at in the Windows Control Panel?  It may just be a dirty or bad pot.

I wired my authentic Star Wars yoke to a Microsoft Sidewinder Dual Strike and have not noticed any Y-axis skipping problems when playing Star Wars. I can move the crosshairs in the X and Y axis direction smoothly. I never set any analog settings or messed with a "ctrl.ini" file

Update. I can play Empire Strikes Back and Crosshairs stay where I want and I can fire my initials in fine. Not so with Star wars. What the hell am I doing wrong? Am I this stupid?

Have a great easter everyone.

try deleting the starwars config files.  You might have messed them up in the past.

Also, make sure you don't have the mouse turned on... so only the joystick.

One of the two games might be linear while the other is absolute.  This might be the trouble.
