MameAnalog+ v0.83

posted in Emulator Release by mfc on Jun 7th, 2004

MameAnalog+, a MAME variant which allows the usage of multiple analog controllers, has been updated recently. Here is what's new:

Changes so the XP code won't crash if run on win9x/ME. (thanks Jake)
- This let's me release one build, saving disk space on my web site.
- If you want to compile with the XP code, you still need to set WINXPANANLOG=1 when you make it. This is so win9x/ME users can compile without needing to edit the mame.net compiling headers/libraries. WinXP compilers still need the small edit.
Added new option "multiplemice". This takes the place to two older options:
- Removed the XP only option "multimouse_winxp". Replaced by "multiplemice" option.
- Removed the option "singlemouse". Replaced by "multiplemice" option.
Multiple mice now disabled by default. Enable with the new multiplemice option.
- Used be MameAnalog XP default was no multiple mice, but win9x/ME MameAnalog multiple mice on. Sine I combined the two builds and a couple options I needed a default, and chose default off.
Added new option, "williams49way", for using raw 49-way input from Williams 49-way joystick (aka Sinistar joysticks).
- This is only needed if you hook up a williams 49-way joystick raw (as 8 buttons). If you hook your 49-way as an analog joystick, you don't need this. (Dave Electronics SJC Simple 49-way Controller is one such interface.)
- Happs (and Atari) 49-way joysticks hooked up raw need this disabled.
- Currently cannot have a williams and a happs 49-way hooked up raw at the same time.
- Blitz games do not emulate 49-way sticks yet, so this does not effect this game.
- Currently this only allows williams 49-way joysticks to work on 49-way games. Support for using the raw williams 49-way joystick for normal 8-way game play is in the works. Happs 49-way joystick can be used for 8-way games it you set up the ctrlr ini files correctly.
- Here's some info on 49-way joysticks.
- Repeat: if you hook up any 49-way joystick as an analog joystick, use the analog joystick to 49-way inputs, not this one.
Changed raw 49-way input to equal player's 5 & 6 buttons 1-8, from players 3 & 4.
- This is in prep for the 4 player Midway 49-way games, and a williams 49-way stick to 8-way hack.
Trying to add the Service Mode (AKA F2) to ctrlr ini files. Works for less than a quarter of the games. A lot more is needed to get a majority of the games, and I don't know how ATM.
Left in the official Mame reload and dual lightgun code.
- Use either official Mame's dual_lightgun or Analog+'s multiple lightgun/mice.
- Use either official Mame's offscreen_reload or the Analog+ reload.
- The official Mame methods conflict with the Analog+ methods, so they shouldn't be enabled at the same time, respectively.
