Moike Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Greetings, I know this topic has been beaten to death, but I've searched here, on the MAME forums/sites, and google-fu'ed the hell out of it... But I can't find a decent solution that isn't a hack-job.I'm using an XBox360 for the PC controller. Obviously 720 used a rotary controller, I don't have one of those. I've got the standard 'character spins uncontrollably' issue using my 360 controller. All I'm looking for is either a decent gamepad controller .ini example for 720 I can tweak, or a method within the GameEx tools to configure my 360 controller to allow me to emulate the rotary controller with the standard stick(s). A few pointers or at least point me in the right direction.This is the -one- game that I really set up MAME for, it'd be nice to play it.Thanks for any assistance.-Mike-

I am not sure if there is anything for the digital or analog controllers that can truly emulate the special controller for this or similar games, but I am still relatively new. I have seen that there are some that built their own special controller and have archive sites for them. I am sure if any of the other users have an idea they will chime in.
DJoneK Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 I got the same controller, but I haven't messed around with that game. I was recently trying to get driving games to respond correctly to the analog stick, but that didnt work out too well either. I need to spend some more time tweaking settings to see what works and what doesn't.
Draco1962 Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 I did find some information regarding a program called GlovePie - you may need to dig further and I cannot guarantee a solution to your issue but it is possible someone has scripted this type of control issue.There may even be some solutions through xpadder but again , I am not aware of any specifics.
mesk Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 isnt 720 a spinner or trackball game? sad thing is some game controls just cannot be emulated using a normal controller.same thing goes for Ikari Warriors 1-3.they had a rotary joystick and its just impossible to control those games with a 360 controller or arcade stick ....sucks i know!You could play it on on a NES emulator,since its been made for a NES padIt was also ported to Armstrad & ZX spectrum PC's, twice to the Commodore 64 and a game boy color port
celly Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Wait, this is the MAME version of 720 right? Can't you just hit 'Tab' and try adjusting the x axis and y axis for that particular game? If memory serves me, that game didn't have a spinner at all but a joystick that rotated 360 degrees. Try changing those settings and see if that will help.

Try changing those settings and see if that will help.720 had this... http://www.720zone.com/720-Joystick-Help.htmlWhich was a rotary controller with an off-axis stick. It kinda works on the same principal as the ABS ring in a car, with the exception that it uses a optic PCB instead of a hall sensor.I'll try the tab trick and see what that gets me.I saw a hack somewhere where someone used a regular roller-ball mouse and mounted a stick to the ball to emulate a spinner. Pretty neat idea, but I'd rather not spend a day cutting up a mouse.
