[Apple IIGS] Joystick doesn't work correctly

[vanfanel]

Hi there,

I've been emulating the Apple IIGS with MAME for some time now. I'm now using latest stable MAME 0.271 on GNU/Linux.

I use this MAME commandline:

Code: Select all

mame apple2gs -rompath apple2gs -ramsize 4M -gameio joy -flop3 apple2gs/California.po

...but activating the joystick in the games, it causes uncontrolled in-game movement ("California Games" main manu) or directions not working at all (The Immortal).

Has someone tried joystick emulation with the Apple IIGS on MAME? The system is marked as perfectly working, so it's strange to see this happening.

I found this thread saying that there's some "trick" people has to do on other emulators in order for joystick to work well:

...but I am not sure about how it translates to MAME.
