joy to key questions
michelevit:
that is exactly what i want to do.
i want to be able to scroll through a long list of my favorite games in mame32fx
with the joystick (mapped with up arrow, down arrow, left and right arrow) and press button one (mapped to enter key) to start a game.
Auto repeat needs to be on the arrow keys so I can scroll through the game list without tapping the joystick down
a cajillion times. I can get this far, but when the game starts the movement from the joystick
is stuttered because of the autorepeat. For some reason my previous keyboard hacks and gamepad hacks never
had this problem.
There has to be a solution. I'd like to do away with the KeyBoard and mouse.
Thanks again for the advice. I still love the GPwiz and think its a great product. Next time, I'll try the Keywiz.

Try mapping the joystick inputs in your games to the joystick directions instead of the arrow keypresses. Make sure joystick support is enabled.
Also consider at least trying RBJoy if JoytoKey is causing problems. Personally, I like RBJoy better, even though the interface isn't as pretty.

will try.
when i map the mame setting to the joystick settings, then i need to disable joytokey.
i'm going to try some more tonight. it's frustrating to get it to work.
my nostromo gamepad had a cool software program that you could have different
key mapping profiles for different programs and it would automatically change
as the program changed. so if mame was running it would run mame settings.
if i quite mame and wanted to play some doom, it would automatically change profiles.
that is something i'd love to be able to do.
thanks again for the advice- it is very much appreciated.
