......using a controller/gamepad(ie DualShock 4, DualSense, Xbox controller, Switch JoyCon, etc)? Just asking, because I've been on somewhat of a Pac-man(original unmolested version) kick lately and have been enjoying it in MAME. But I don't have access to a 4-way joystick unfortunately, so I make do with my Sony DS4 gamepad. The problem is, and I don't know if it's just me...but I'm having trouble controlling the little yellow turd with this D-pad.
Often times, he'll go in a different direction than where I intended him to go, and I can't help but wonder, if this is attributed to my D-pad(the analog stick is no better), my reaction at my old age, or if it's something going on in MAME not being suited to 4-way games being controlled with these types of gamepads?
What are your thoughts on this topic? Are any of you capable of getting a decent score in Pac-man/Ms Pac-man with your gamepad? if so, what's your secret?
By the way I'm playing on my 77" OLED TV via HDMI, and DS4 is connected via hard wired connection.
