Need help getting joystick working with new mamewah
« on: September 11, 2004, 09:20:53 pm »
I'm excitedy setting up the new Mamewah 1.5, particularly because of joystick support. I've got two NES pads on my cabinet, but I'm having trouble getting mamewah to recognize them.

I used the directpadPro drivers under win98, which makes the joysticks appear as regular directinput joysticks.

I've set joystick=1 and joy1_x_analog=0 and joy1_y_analog=0 in my ctrlr file. No luck though, still not recognizing my button presses. joy1_up and joy1_down are mapped to scrolling the list by default. I'm having no luck though. The pads still work in other programs, so it's a mamewah-specific problem.

Has anyone else gotten a digital gamepad working with Mamewah yet? If so, what settings am I missing?

You may need to set joystik=1 in the mamewah.ini file. That is where I had to enable mouse so I can use my trackball. Try that and see if it fixes your problem.

Do you have 'JOY1_UP' etc. in capitals?  Check the joystick no. is right (should be the order your pads appear in Control Panel, starting at 1).

Sounds like you did everything right to be honest...

I set the joystick param in my ctrlr file, which is the correct location, not in mamewah.ini.

And the JOY1_UP and stuff is in caps. The joystick number isn't the issue either. I have two joysticks, and I've set it to use JOY1, and neither of them does anything. Even if the order switches, one or the other should be #1 every time right?

Any other ideas? And is anyone out there using joystick support successfully in 1.5?

I've been using joysticks support (analog stick, pedals & GameCube pad) so I know it works...

Post your ctrlr file and I'll see if anything looks amiss...

Minwah, are you able to use the digital pad on your N64 controller , or just the analog?

My ctrlr file is attached, let me know if you notice anything wrong.

Thanks

Yes, the digital pad on my Cube controller works fine...but it is treated as 4 buttons (not 2 axies).

Your ctrlr file looks fine, but I wonder if your controller is treated as buttons or some axies which are not x and y??  Could the d-pad be a POV hat?

Edit: try using some other joystick axies/inputs:

JOY?_IN
JOY?_OUT
JOY?_ROTATELEFT
JOY?_ROTATERIGHT
JOY?_ROTATEUP
JOY?_ROTATEDOWN
JOY?_ROTATEIN
JOY?_ROTATEOUT
JOY?_POVLEFT
JOY?_POVRIGHT
JOY?_POVUP
JOY?_POVDOWN
JOY?_BUTTON0-31

Put a bunch of these in your ctrlr file (use the or '
