I know, but it’s the same concept for the other games. I showed you an exemple. Also, you can combine analog and input for a game like scud, I can turn right and left with analog stick and right and left buttons.

New edit: like this

; Steering wheel
InputSteeringLeft = JOY1_BUTTON8,JOY1_ZAXIS_POS      ; digital, turn wheel left
InputSteeringRight = JOY1_BUTTON9,JOY1_ZAXIS_NEG     ; digital, turn wheel right
InputSteering = NONE      ; analog, full steering range

I had the idea of making an emulators.cfg line that could automatically detect the current resolution or the current resolution that is set for the emulator and then run the emulator with that resolution.
@mitu helped me out with how to do this.
We can just add the variables %XRES% and %YRES% in the line.
There should be no need anymore for multiple resolution-lines.

So I removed all earlier lines, and added just one line, which should be enough :

Here's what I found in Supermodel.log . It shows all default settings. Most of the time you can set it in Supermodel.ini. When It's the default values, they doesn't appear in Supermodel.ini. You have to add them to set them. It is essentially the same as what I have already discussed above.

Sensitivity=15 %
Decay Speed=50 %
X-Axis Dead Zone=10 %
RX-Axis Dead Zone=10 %
Y-Axis Dead Zone=10 %
Z-Axis Dead Zone=10 %

@dteam

Still not sure what these settings really do.
In the test menu I did not seem to see any difference.

I will try again soon.

I'll play with sensitivity. I'm sure my problem is with this parameter like It was with N64 and CDi.

@dteam

Ok, understood.

I will try after the endless download of MAME 0.233 😂

Sorry, i was distracted by the pinball bartop i've been setting up (it makes mame configuration look easy! :D )

The automated resolution is a good idea in theory, but my only worry is that our hardware can't really handle going far beyond the Model 3's native res.

I worry that the average user is going to think they can't run it above something like 640 x 480 wheh in reality you can have it look ok and run ok by rendering low and stretching.

If you don't set a resolution when booting the emulator, it will use the regular resolution. But if you do it will take that resolution.

I would recommend to test it first.
If doesn't work we can always revert it back to the original 3 lines.

Is daytona 2 playable now? If so I will try the model 3 emulator on my pi. But that it runs at all is still awesome.

Folly

@phialek

I just tested Daytona2 for you.
I played a few minutes, it should work !

phialek

@folly
Thats awesome!

Folly

@phialek

Try my module-script, let me know how it goes.

phialek

@folly

Is the file "supermodel-mechafatnick.sh" all i need to get it to install? I have tried the instructions on mechafatnicks site, but couldn't get it to work. I just read that it needs a lib2 dev upgrade, that and a typo where the folder in the roms was wrong spelled didn't let me go further.

I think i will delete everything i have done so far and just use your script "supermodel-mechafatnick.sh"

Folly

@phialek

The "supermodel-mechafatnick.sh" is all you need and should be fine.

phialek

@folly

it didnt start

can you see whats not right?

@phialek

Hi,
I removed my earlier post.

Indeed, I discovered that the latest version seems to have an issue with the auto-resolution when running the normal way.
I have to investigate why it isn't working the way it should.

Can you de-install the latest version and then install this older version ? :
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/bcc1bfb9ef00ded0b060f70df06d10c6660f07f1/00-scriptmodules-00/emulators/supermodel-mechafatnick.sh

It will produce 3 lines in emulators.cfg with different resolution.

I hope this will work for you.

phialek

@folly

thank you, now i could choose a resolution, howeever it didnt run the game. here is the log:

@phialek

I can't directly see what wrong.
It looks like the same log from earlier.
I would expect to see some -res parts for the resolution but I don't see that.

Do you use a pi4 ?
Is the binary of supermodel in this directory : /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel-mechafatnick ?

mechafatnick

@folly @phialek

If the binary is there, could it be a permission issue? is it worth running:

chmod -R 755 /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel-mechafatnick

just to be on the safe side?
