[UNRESOLVED] Ultimarc servostik

[castcreator1]

Will GameEx support ultimarc 's servostik? I am interested in getting one. 

Ultimarc said it is not supported by Mame but the FE.

Let me try this again...

Will the servostik work with GameEx AE 64 bit in windows 11? Thanks

Should work just fine with GameEx (any flavor). MAME is compatible with them. You program each game upon initial launch to the inputs.

Not sure whom you asked but there's plenty of sites that address your initial query 

[castcreator1]

I don't know what that means... " You program each game upon initial launch to the inputs."

Any tutorials anywhere? I wouldn't even know where to look.

You'll need to configure your devices globally within MAME first, then fine tune your controller schema within each game you play to your liking.

You will not need to do much with GameEx.

Actually, sorry, incorrect above. There is or was support directly in GameEx via plugins. its been a while since ive had feedback on it so can't guarantee it works with the latest and greatest. i would talk to Ultimarc about it. i dont have anything here to test and im not aware of anyone around here who even knows what it actually is other than me!

Also look at fba neo as an alternative to MAME. I can't confirm but I know it has support for things ouside of MAME and is designed more for people who actually want to play

I did talk to Ultimarc about it and he stated it would be controlled by the FE.

okay, fair enough and sorry, but ive got nothing more to say than above. i cant guarantee it works. i would not buy the product on the assumption it works with gameex.

I don't know about the other frontends, maybe hyperspin v1 but that is going to be a complete pain in the ass.

The newer ones are more for kiddies without real hardware.

This kind of thing is dying unfortunately. Without a CRT which died many years ago can't get close to the real thing anyway. Its nice to have proper four way etc though but probably more drama than it's appreciated.

ive not looked at it but fba may be the solution.

32 bit gameex will likely work and its no problem running 32 bit version. It is still updated but i just cant confirm it works which is why i suggested talking to ultimarc. Maybe they could spend a few minutes and test? In there interests, no? I am happy to help but little else I can do.

About a thorough answer as you are going to get anywhere in 2025.

Apparently it works with hyperspin and some other FEs.  I will have to do more digging  as to what is requited for the servostik.
