Title: Need some help with JoyToKey
Post by: IceCold on November 12, 2003, 05:41:50 pm: I could use some help with JoyToKey. I need to use it so that I can use MameWah(I did a gamepad hack). Anyways, If I hold the joystick going one way and then stop pushing it that way, it acts like I'm still pushing it for a second or so. It's really annoying. Buttons don't always register either. Should I just get another frontend and forget about using JoyToKey? Is there a setting I'm missing?(in either mame or JoyToKey)

I think it you adjust your "threshold for input" under the "others" tab it may fix your problem. I have mine set to 50% if I set it to 0% (default I believe) I get the same problem.

Hope this helps! ;D

About to go try it, it's currently set at 0%. Thanks for the tip!

To everybody else, I was using Gravis Gamepad Pro's(gameport version) and they worked just fine before without JoyToKey.

I'll respond after I've tested it.

No, it seems like it may have helped a little, but it's still funky. :(
