Joystick from 8 directions to 4
« on: February 03, 2014, 08:38:33 pm »
I have a joystick for MAME, 2-axis, 8-button.

It has 8 directions, is there any way to be only 4 directions(up-down-left-right)?

I dont know, that will all have to do with the software that is made for the joy stick. Normally you can control what each button does and turn off buttons you dont want.

Dont think that is possible, they have the ability to program the buttons but normally the stick is pure hardware.
