Raspberry Pi: spinner disabled by flight stick
-
I don't know why that didn't work, but maybe there's such thing as a USB combiner...
There isn't. Actually maybe it's your flight stick. -
@IceChes1 I'm still not clear on how to configure the right vs left. Could you please provide more details.
But funny thing I tried. I tried running Afterburner in Mame2003 because I wanted to see if the flight stick would work on that game. It didn't. But the spinner did move the plane left and right >: [
-
Are you using MAME? If so it might be the emulator just because MAME is dumb.
-
But by left and right I meant like on a Xbox or PS3 controller with the two sticks. Left stick, right stick.
-
@IceChes1 Yes, I am using MAME.
For the controls, I'm going with the nostalgic arcade buttons from my youth, so I'm avoiding using any type of gamepad.
I'm a couple weeks into setting this up and my head is spinning with the different versions of MAME on different operating systems on different hardware. I get halfway through an article and realize it probably doesn't apply to me....oh well, sometimes challenges can be fun.
-
Try using another emulator. FinalBurn Neo or something. I don't have much experience with arcade but MAME and MESS are both stupidly overcomplicated.
-
But what I do have experience with is controllers.
-
@IceChes1 I'll give that a try. Thank you.

@corminos I use advance mame and this works in my setup. I have ipac as well along with separate usb joysticks / trackball. You should be able to just map per game what controls you want to use, for me I have a generic config file that covers 90% of games I play then a different config for games that need a trackball/spinner etc.
-
Then the problem must be with the stick. But isn't @corminos using lr-mame-2003?
-
Oh, no they aren't. They didn't say.
