Programmable inputs / Esoteric frame data Q&A

I was wrong. I apologize.

 

</div>

If the "only sde in 10f total at the end of recovery works" camp was correct, these two would be roughly the same difficulty, since you'd have to cram your entire SDE input into the same-size 10f window. </div></div>

Cheers KoD, sounds like a good way to test it out. I was unsure how to check and this should help.

 

Updated the code to work with the latest release of the Arduino software, 0015

For folks that have a working board already, this doesnt much matter - you can keep using any scripts that get uploaded, without having to upgrade to 0015. It mostly matters for recent arduino purchases, because Diecimila boards aren't sold now and the new Duemilanove boards only work with the newer arduino software.

Also, for anyone reading this
<span style='font-size: 26pt'>PLEASE let me know </span>

if you know where to get these madcatz controllers nowadays. The form factor is really good for this kind of thing; i bought a handful of them when fry's was clearing them out but I should have bought more.

 

2 player programming is tested and working.
I had to change a bit shift that was wrong, other than that everything worked as planned. So download the latest library if you want to do 2p controls.

Also,

http://joytech.net/products.php?section=...nced-Controller

are a pretty decent common ground controller, available at walmart for like $25. The dpad hole isnt exactly the right size for a 15 pin dsub port like on the madcatz, but it's close enough with a little filing & there's plenty of room underneath it.

 

Just for the record, I've built one of these mainly off KoD's instructions and then gone ahead and done a lot of the coding for myself (mainly because he's way smarter than me in that department, so I decided to not confuse myself). I now have a 2P setup as well, and continue to work away at timing/functionality.

 

Did some more with it this afternoon, have hopefully added a feature so that whenever you play, if you leave the PStick plugged into the computer via usb (with the arduino program on and serial monitor going, yes some setup involved) it will "record" all the button inputs that both players do.

My initial sketches caused quite a lot of slowdown, but it seems now that it's just about frame accurate again (no easy way to judge it though). Should be good enough though, if something happens on the 1000th and 1015th frame, and it's reported as 999th and 1014th it shouldn't matter much.

Would be a neat thing to have going for random matches so that if one of those "What just happened there?" moments occurs (Namco moments?) you could pull up the input display and see if it's repeatable.
