Re: Configuring a 8-way joystick to work better as a 4-way by mapping alone in MAME (suggestion for new feature)

As an adjunct to this: something that I would like to see implemented would be the ability to select how many positions the joystick has from the tab menu.

Whatever the driver specified would be the default, but being able to manually select a value could be useful. It's something I've wished that MAME could do a few times over the years to see how the original hardware might behave if a different joystick type is in use without actually replacing the stick currently in a physical machine or recompiling.

I realise that's something of a corner case, but it may also be helpful with verifying game behaviour in the debugger in certain situations.




I think such a feature could be useful, too. It would mean adding a new submenu, since none of the current ones would quite cover it.
