in my very first post I made reference to a thread that asked this:

Quote:
How do you guys do to play recent games like NHL, Madden etc. with a I-pac? I mean is pretty rare we can use the 2P since they don't let us remap it and I dont want to use a regular joypad on my cabinet.

Can we hack a USB joypad only on the 2P and let the I-pac plug too? Do you think any conflict will happen between those two or the joypad will work only with the game who need it?


I had obviously had the same problem with Virtua Tennis and figured it happend (and will continue to happen) in any EA Sports Game.  Since I'm a HUGE fan of the NHL series and it was a big part of the reason I made a 4 Player CP, I could see it being a problem when I went to set up that game as well. 

I'm guessing that most modern games (EA and such) will use the Keyboard as input for 1 player and expect the other 3 to have joysticks/keypads.  Because PPJoy seemed to be on the verge of solving the problem and because I could see other people were interested (and I could see it becoming even MORE of an issue later on as more games go to this format) I pushed the Issue.

Basicly what it boils down to is this:  I didn't build a 4 Player CP and put a 2200XP chip with a GeForce 4 in the machine just to play Donkey Kong. 

I'm gonna make 1 more post (as Dion just e-mailed me again, with the Source code and an updated version of his program) and then I'm ready to let this thread fade away.

From Dion:
Hi guys,

Here is the final version of PPJoyKey. The changes are:
- Allows you to select the keys to use from a dropdown list
- Option to scan for keys to use
- Status display - whether it successfully opened the PPJoy
  virtual joystick device
- Fixed the DrWatson (access violation) that would occasionally
  occur in the original.

I include the source for the curious...


From Allroy:
I put these up on a web site if you want them:
http://allroy.bigdrillcar.com/mame/zips/PPJoyKey.zip            <-- The program
http://allroy.bigdrillcar.com/mame/zips/PPJoyKey_source.zip  <-- The Source

You may need to right click on these and do a save, but they should work.

Thanks again to everyone.
Mission accomplished. 

Okay, this is lame..but I just thought since it's also fixing a problem with EA Sports games...maybe we could say that now....
"If it's in the Game, It's in the MAME"
uhh...okay, good night everyone!
