Star Wars Mame needs calibration ???

(1/5) > >>

Hi.

Since finding an original Star Wars yoke is almost like searching glasses in the ocean I made my on one using a Road Riot steering wheel. Works very fine.

There's just one point with Star Wars: the ship always flies to the left without touching the yoke. I found the attached screenshot that showed me that it's not only my ROM that seems to need "calibration".

Is there a way to bring that crosshair to the middle of the screen where it should be??

Thanks.

Good question. I have seen 2 or 3 threads about this same issue. They have reported that it is a little bit off to the left. Most have said that it doesn't affect gameplay much if at all. I haven't seen a fix for this, though. That doesn't mean that it hasn't been fixed, but I haven't seen it.

Thanks.....

Of course it affects gameplay. I always have to "compensate" that auto-left-drift  ::)

I'll keep on searching.

I know someone from Italy who is a Mame-Developper...maybe he'll know something. I will let the community know if I get something about it.

Please do. :cheers:

Would you care to show off your DIY yoke?  I'd love to see how you built the Y-axis section.

As to your calibration troubles- do they affect other games as well, or is the problem specific to Star Wars?  If it's a global problem, then maybe you can adjust your pots.  But if it's specific to SW, then you'll need a software fix.
