Please Help me with my Joystick problems
Marky_1979:
Hi guys im currently having problems with my happs joysticks.
They are all wired up into the ipac 2 and although they register when pressed they dont work correctly.
I was testing it out on a variety of games and noticed that if you press left it would walk left on the game then freeze until I release the direction pushed and pressed left again.
It seems that it is only registering it as a single press this applies to all directions on both joysticks. Is there a mame/mamewah option i need to alter or is it a wiring fault?
can someone please help?
many thanks

I had a problem similar to this, and I ended up trying it on a different computer and it worked fine. It was a compaq, and I ended up not being able to use it.
Have you tried it with a different computer? If the problem follows you to a different computer, we'll know it's the ipaq, joystick or wiring, but if the problem only exists on one computer we can start looking at the computer.

I only have 1 pc so I hope thats not the problem I will check wiring again to see if something is a miss

The usual cause of this problem is using a PS/2 to USB converter. But this would cause the problem on all buttons and joysticks. If its only happening on the joysticks its more likely to be a wiring problem.
