Enabling Xbox360 analog controls in lr-mame2003

@mitu
I had I hopes in this method but it does not work. And if I press the TAB button to config the controls, like I always did, it does not register any input from my joystick. I'm a clueless on this one

[mitu]

@charlie1212 It seems the analog controls are not detected - are they working in any other game/emulator ?

[ward614]

Near as I can tell, certain emulators only accept specific inputs. I recommend using lr-mame2014 if you need to use the analog sticks and the d-pad at the same time.

in my opinion ignore everything else. this method makes the d-pad and analogs both work as the same thing. in all retroarch.cfg files except for in the "all", "psp" and "psx" folders add this above the #include..... line

input_player1_up_axis = "-1"
input_player1_down_axis = "+1"
input_player1_left_axis = "-0"
input_player1_right_axis = "+0"

input_player2_up_axis = "-1"
input_player2_down_axis = "+1"
input_player2_left_axis = "-0"
input_player2_right_axis = "+0"

now you can use both d-pad and left analog controls in all retroarch libretro systems.

@edmaul69 the configuration editor is the simplest method imo.

[edmaul69]

@herb_fargus dont you have to manually type in everything in the configuration editor? Using winscp this can be entered really fast in any config file.

[herb_fargus]

@edmaul69 there are preconfigured settings for using the analog as a dpad. No typing necessary. Detailed on the wiki page.

[edmaul69]

@herb_fargus cool. Good to know.

[edmaul69]

@herb_fargus so does this make both d-pad and analog both the same thing if you set this up in the config editor?

[herb_fargus]

@edmaul69 that's the idea. That's why it isn't a good idea to set it up for the whole system if one intends on using psx games that use both dpad and analog.

[edmaul69]

@herb_fargus thats why i said to skip all, psx and psp. Glad to know it works this way in the editor. I am definitely going to have to check out what all is implemented in the configuration editor. Thanks for the info.
