    Closer To The Final Replacement Of Stick

    Hi, I know where you're coming from all right. I was trying to figure out the exact mechanical operation of the joystick, and it's more complicated than I first thought, as it basically involves the stick driving a lever, with the lever having two sliding fulcrums. The bottom fulcrum drives...

    Closer To The Final Replacement Of Stick

    Hi, I had a look at the internals of one of them today and I have a few ideas, but I'll have to try them out and see what works best. One of the things I'm going to try doing is to put a thin layer of solder on the circular edge of the contactor and file it back down to more of an octagonal...

    Closer To The Final Replacement Of Stick

    Hi, For PCBs you might want to check this crowd out. I haven't tried them myself yet, but I put them into my bookmarks last year after seeing some favourable mentions. http://www.pcb-pool.de/ Also, it looks like the shapelock plastic is just a rebranded "Polymorph" that Maplins (in the UK and...

    Closer To The Final Replacement Of Stick

    Looking good, damn good. I got a couple of the PCB joystick units earlier in the week, but this weekend has been kind of a write-off, so hopefully I'll have time next week to try mods on those to try and improve the feel. One of my intentions is try a restriction mod to turn it into a 4-switch...

    Vektar 0.9

    Looks great, thanks for the update. Nice to see that the difficulty ramps up a lot quicker now - It really makes it worth taking it out for a quick blast at breaktimes now. Would it be possible to make the keys user defineable though? I find it impossible to use the stick for rotating and keep...

    Mame Gp2x 1.8

    Great stuff, thank you! This is only getting better every time I try it. One thing though, will it ever be possible to map the virtual joystick axes to the GP2X buttons? I.e. map the 4-button cluster to up, down, left and right, and also to map any of the 8 different joystick positions on the...

    Gp2x Joystick Exposed - The Internals

    Following up on my comments earlier about the joystick, I've finally had a chance to try the python scripts by Radek, and the tester by Miquel, and I have to admit I can't really see the time filters working as they stand now. However, that's only in the context of a pure input-to-screen demo...

    Gp2x Joystick Exposed - The Internals

    Hi, I would like to reply to your points tomorrow after I've had a chance to install Python and try out your code. Apologies if I came across earlier as disregarding your work, but I've only just got my broadband back after a couple of weeks of jerking around with ntl, and I've been on a kind...

    Gp2x Joystick Exposed - The Internals

    Hi everybody. I would like to add here that the joystick is the one thing that has stopped me from getting a couple of GP2Xs. Having read this discussion though, I feel a bit more favourable towards it, assuming that the issues can be worked around. I'll be getting a couple of these little...
