MAME XML: What does this input type mean?
(1/1)
fatfingers:
I have been looking at the output of mame --listxml and I understand lots of it, but have a question about one particular input control type. One of the lines in question is as follows:
<input players="2" control="stick" buttons="2" coins="4" tilt="yes"/>
The item in question is the control="stick" entry. Usually I see things like 4way, 8way, etc. here (which all makes sense), but what does "stick" mean?
Thanks!

That's an analog joystick. The XML became a bit clearer in v0.107:
--- Code: ---
<input players="1" buttons="4" coins="2">
<control type="stick" minimum="0" maximum="254" sensitivity="100" keydelta="16"/>
<control type="pedal" minimum="0" maximum="214" sensitivity="100" keydelta="16"/>
</input>
--- End code ---
There was only one "control" tag allowed before v0.107.
HTH,

Thanks Buddabing! I was assuming it was analog, but wasn't sure!
