Pages: 1 PhillyNJ MAME Fan Reged: 12/25/12 Posts: 7 Send PM Help with 4 way Joystick #303496 - 01/30/13 01:54 PM Reply Hi My Mame uses a 4 way joystick for games like donkey kong. When any of the buttons are pressed on the joystick (up, down, left, right) the player moves but then stops. I tried using Advmame on a PC and Linux and also Mame32. The same thing happens. I also swapped out the switches to make sure that the switches was not defective. Any ideas on how to solve this? I am almost positive its my configuration.

What encoder are you using?

What happens if you connect a PS2 keyboard to the pass-through on the encoder and hold down a key on it, does it repeat or not?

Then discovered that the keyboard enumerator was emitting a character on its own, over and over. I tested on a PC and Linux, so I am betting the Keyboard enumerator is broken. Thanks for the help. krick Get Fuzzy Reged: 02/09/04 Posts: 4235 Send PM Re: Help with 4 way Joystick [Re: PhillyNJ] #303547 - 01/31/13 04:35 AM Reply Do you have it plugged directly into a PS/2 port, or do you have it plugged into a PS/2-to-USB adapter? I think this might be what you have... http://www.3tronics.com/MAMI2401A_Info.htm Lots of info about keyboard encoders... http://tigerheli.mameworld.info/encoder/index.htm Edited by krick (01/31/13 04:48 AM) GroovyMAME support forum on BYOAC Pages: 1
