Star Wars yoke w/adapter help needed.

caver01

@wstanek You might already know this, but you can add a prefix in front of these trackball lines for the games to which they apply. For example:

esb/input_map[p1_trackballx] joystick[2,0,x]
esb/input_map[p1_trackbally] joystick[2,0,y]
starwars/input_map[p1_trackballx] joystick[2,0,x]
starwars/input_map[p1_trackbally] joystick[2,0,y]

which will make these trackball configurations only apply to esb and starwars ROMs. This effectively overrides an existing trackball mapping config you might have elsewhere in the file and would allow you to play other games that you may not want to map to the yoke.

@AlexMurphy I don't get that one.

AlexMurphy

@caver01 Nah, it was just the penguin from Antarctic Adventure gone rogue... I thought it was funny, anyway.

caver01

@AlexMurphy Oh, it's funny. I just didn't recognize the character. I guess I need to lookup Antarctic Adventure.

AlexMurphy

@caver01 Sorry. I don't mean to say stuff you don't get. It was just an inside / personal joke. Ignore me. I'm only messing, dude.

@wstanek Of course it did! Some of these people are geniuses. Just be careful though, some aren't...

Did you get the Star Wars Yoke to work?

wstanek

yes I did! I just needed to look at the right register, I was thinking it was more complicated than it was. Plus I had a trackball and a Xin Mo plugged in, so it was seeing it as Js1 I think.

I've got the star wars cabinet almost done. I will be posting it.

I have the Star Wars yoke connected to my PI3. It works. I am using a USB connector from Ultramarc. The problem I am having is how can I set the deadzone to zero in Mame4all? In Mame on my PC, you can go into the controller and set it Zero. The yoke works perfect on my pc. On the PI3, I can not find the option or do I know how to do it. Otherwise the yoke works perfect. Please help. P

@richiep I have the deadzone issue as well. I'm using the Ram controls USB adapter, and I think the deadzone is programmed in the controller. When I run a jstest on it, I can see the deadzone in the numbers, so I haven't gotten into the mame settings. I use advmame, so I'm not sure about the parameters in Mame4all, but there must be some.

Can you try advmame?

What is the USB adapter you're using? I was going to try to configure a Teensy.
