Using U360's with Battlezone type games

(1/4) > >>

cmoses:
Has anyone been able to use a U360 with a game like Battlezone that had two joysticks for tank controls?  Is there a mapping for it?  If not could one be made so that it would work with that type of joystick?

TheShanMan:
Sure you could create a good mapping for it, but the real problem is the fire button. BZ kinda needs a trigger stick, although I suppose as a hack you could use a pedal to act like the fire button. :dunno

u_rebelscum:
I think the OP is thinking configing one joystick to work with the two 2-way games.

Yup, can be done, and we've talked able it.  Let me see if I can find it... Here is the latest post on it, IIRC.

TheShanMan:
Cool! It hadn't even occurred to me to try to combine the 2 joysticks into 1. I might want to try that sometime. Probably makes it hard to play a real BZ machine once you're used to 1 joystick (there's one at the Ground Kontrol arcade that's not far from me) but I don't play it there all that often anyway.

Yes I am trying to get one joystick to replicate the combinations of the two tank sticks.  I looked at that post and will give them a try.  With the two tank sticks there are only 9 combinations so you should be able to get that with a 8 way joystick.  Position 9 being not moved at all.
