Is the VSHG confirmed to be usable on the pc?

This is one the big reason im purchasing it, aside from VF5 of course. I thought I remember seeing a post where someone said the tried to connect it to the pc but it was to no avail.

 

yah the buttons work but the stick wont, doesnt look hard to fix this issue, someone might make a driver for it

 

The stick works fine, you just need to use emulator software that will recognize inputs from the hat switch.

 

Do you know of any good such software?

 

I've heard Final Burn has hat switch support, but I haven't tested it.

You could also try

if you're set on playing VF2 or something else without hat switch support.

 

I can confirm that the VSHG works with MAME32 and Nebula (no driver neede). Windows XP recognized both of my sticks right away. It does not work with NeoRageX since the actual stick won't register. The buttons will.

 

I have but i dont know how to make this work /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

 

How did you get the stick to input as up/left/right/down, etc.? I am using MAME32 and I get the buttons to work but not the stick itself. I tried the "JoyToKey" program above also, I was able to get the stick to control my mouse and the up/down/left/right buttons, but as soon as I ran MAME32 it stopped working. If it matters I'm trying to play King Of Fighters 2000 as my test game.

 

- I didn't do anything special. After the VSHG is recognized, I simply enabled Joystick in the "Options > Default Game Options > Controllers > Enable Joystick Input" menu. I loaded up a game and the hit the Tab key. From there, I mapped the joystick controls. Try mapping the commands at least once.

 

after more fooling aroung with joy2key i finally got it working for VF2 pc. ill post my config soon.

vf2 online battles...oh yeah

 

I've been using it on my PC(WIndows XP 64bit) Mame32 latest version. No problems, it worked flawlessly
But, the damn thing wont work with PS2 games. :~(

 

Yeah, I got it to work by doing the "Tab" thing and configuring MAME32. I have never used MAME before, but thanks alot for the tips on here to help me get it to work. I'm happy now ^_^

 

Thanks a lot guys, that about seals the deal for me.
