Rotary Dial Games in MAME: Setup and Gameplay with GRS Super Joystick
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лис 2023
- This video shows you how to map controls for the four rotary dial games in MAME (Front Line, Sheriff, The Tin Star and Wild Western) when using a GRS Super Joystick. The controller includes a little PCB that helps you map the directions, but I show you a trick where you don't need it. There is also gameplay footage of all four games using the controller.
Games:
Sheriff 4:19
Wild Western 4:52
The Tin Star 5:26
Front Line 6:01
Gameplay of the rotary joystick games can be found here:

Ive just built the grs joystick and was a little confused and didn't want to use the pcb board so thanks for making this easy to follow vid 👍😃
The king of MAME controllers has returned!
I appreciate you helping me understand so quickly. In this case, how to think about what windows sees and how to work around the calibration circuit board without mounting it somewhere so it is available, which I was thinking was a future hurdle. So far, one calibration worked but I've yet to see what it will do when I try to move to other hardware or just some restart. Great to have options to get the original hardware going or emulation. Hours of thought reduced to minutes here and I thank you again!
Might have to look into getting one of these. I adore playing Wild Western on real hardware when I go to the arcade, and would be nice to replicate that at home
I have 2 rotarys mechanical running with GPWiz40 board and Roto-X software. Works very well.
Thanks for the video and info!
Excellent tutorial Darth (as always). I got two of the GRS rotary sticks delivered last week (w/ the universal mounts), but I haven’t decided where I’m going to install them yet. I’m not sure I want to install it in my one-player Mistercade cabinet w/ the vertical monitor, because I have a 4/8 way MagStick Plus installed in that and I love it. My MAME cabinet is an upgrade legacy SlikStik CO2 panel and I have two Happ rotary sticks in that already which work fine.
I’m thinking I’ll hold onto these GRS rotary sticks and install them in my 2-player MARS FPGA cabinet (whenever that releases)…but not sure yet.
Anyways, I think the GRS rotary sticks are great, but I’m still kind of miffed that they expect you to install them into a cardboard box which folds together like those old-school Denny’s hats I used to get when I was a kid. Seems kind of cheap of them to buy high quality arcade parts and install them in a cheap, ghetto box. Am I alone in my opinion on that?
Most arcade parts don't come with any kind of housing so I'm glad they at least included some kind of solution. It would have been nice if it was sturdier, even if it was at a different price point option. My only issue right now is that I think the next position you turn to engages too early. It's basically as soon as you leave the current position. If you move it slightly and go back to the same position it will register as the one you were turning to. You can actually rotate it completely around by just making slight movements and returning to the same position you were in. I'm hoping they can fix this with a software update.
@DarthMarino - let them know about the fixes you would like to see!
I emailed them the other day. They said they are aware of the issue but it may be difficult to fix.@@ABCD-iz3bl
YO DARTH MARINO !!! DO YOU HAVE A VID FOR JOYSTICK ONLY MAME GAMES ?! LIKE PACMAN ?
No. I never made one since I figured anyone into playing MAME with arcade controls would already have a regular joystick. I've thought about doing one for 4-way games like Pac-Man but there are a lot and many are debatable if they even benefit. No game really requires one technically.
Can you make a video on how setup on mister fpga please..
I've never use one.
@@DarthMarino thanks for reply
So with your time with it, so far would you recommend it, or pass on it
Yes. I've had fun with it. Certainly the best options out there outside of the real hardware. I don't regret my purchase.
