Star Wars problem
« on: May 01, 2005, 12:24:20 pm »
Hello, I finally got Star Wars up and running with a yoke and a AKI controller board.  For some reason, the game starts with my crossfire on screen a little to the left.  As I play the game, it straightens out.  I calibrated the yoke in windows, then I used the Star Wars calibration screen and found out that it is perfectly calibrated.  Is this a know issue with Star Wars emulation?

Thanks...

FWIW I noticed the exact same thing happening with an N64 analog stick via Adaptoid. I found that if I move the cursor to all 4 corners of the screen early on (like at the level select) it centers quickly.

It use to do the same thing for me when I had it hooked up to an 8-way.  I didn't think much of it because of the controls being totally wrong...

This is not an emulation problem.  It's exactly how the original machine works.

Since the stick centers after a few left-right & up-downs, and the machines were left on most of the time, you never noticed it in the arcade.  Real time recalibration was a great idea for arcade cabs.
