x-arcade tankstick stopped working right 2 revisions ago

[David V]

Had everything set up and working, then about 2 revisions ago, my x-arcade tankstick started acting very sluggish in the games.

It works fine in game-ex, and it starts out ok when I select a game, but a few seconds into Galaga, for example, there is a long delay before it follows my commands.

If I don't touch the controls for a few seconds, everything seems to "catch up" and it works fine again for a few seconds.

The controls work fine if I launch mame32 directly.

Anyone else had this problem?

hmm i would like to know an answer also, as i plan on getting the tankstick soon.

What kind of system are you using? It's possible that either MAME or GameEx have been updated with new features that slow down your system enough that it's no longer fast enough. Galaga isn't exactly 3d graphics, but that would be my first guess based on the limited info you have given.

At least yours works..mine quit working two upgrades ago...still nada...

Mine ONLY works with MAME32 now...any suggestions guys??

[Ricci]

Which version of MAME are you using, by the way??

If you're asking me, I don't have an x-arcade stick of any kind. I use a GP-Wiz32 and haven't had any problems...with this
