GPWIZ49 which modes do you use ? 8 modes only have 6 buttons available
y2k600f4:
Today I received (2) GPWIZ49s from Randy T at GGG (excellent service and help) along with the rest of my order. I am currently completing my CP and I am just about to wire up the (2) Williams49 joysticks and 6 buttons per player (along with 1P, 2P, 1P coin, 2P coin and 3 admin buttons- pause, restart and quit). Plus I just learned I need to add a JoyMode button (possibly hidden) to select Joystick modes. Anyway my question is what modes do others use if they only can use 6 out of the 8 available ?

Unless you are using a Mac or Linux, you can select DRS modes via software and you can just ignore the JoyMode button function. It's sometimes handy to do the switching via a quick button combo, but not at all necessary under Windows.

Thanks Randy ! That sounds great, now I don't need to wire up (2) additional buttons.
Now to modify my CP so that the williams49 joystick connectors are to the left.....I mistakenly followed the original mounting with the connectors towards the front......can't wait to try them out !!!

I use the Player credit and start buttons for modes 7 & 8 even though they don't much use. The modes that get the most use in my cab is Raw 49, 8-way & 4-way (1,3 & 4).
Randy, I have a question. In any mode except the 49-way modes is the dead zone expanded? In other words, the first ring around the center position, is it ignored?
TTFN :cheers:

Kaytrim....do you use the set49mode software that integrates into MAME for autoselection of modes (assuming you have a MAME setup and 49ways ?)
