+grips03 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Is there a nice controller test rom for Genesis. Right now I use Golden Axe. Testing 3 button controller, but would be neat if it supported 3/6 button controllers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of feature requests if you plan to enhance: Can you display [up,Right] [up,Left] [Down,Right] and [Down,Left] Can you accept input from both controller 1 and 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MantaNZ Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Done. I did this pretty quickly, so let me know if there are any bugs. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6028893/POLYGAMe_SMD_controller_test%202.0.bin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MantaNZ Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I only have / testing 3 button controller and it works perfect. Awesome Helpful little tool, I reckon. Putting a game in and going through all the menus to get into a game to test a controller is a real pain. I used to use Street Fighter 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Awesome Helpful little tool, I reckon. Putting a game in and going through all the menus to get into a game to test a controller is a real pain. I used to use Street Fighter 2. Yeah its so much nicer to have tools like these. The best ones draw the number of controllers the console supports, and then use an arrow for direction and displays the action buttons in their spots A,B,C, start in my case, then light up when pressed. You get the visual and its not in English. For me your utility is perfect, because I can put working controller in port 1 and controller to test in port 2. Everdrive only uses controller 1, so that is how I start the utility. Now with 2.0 I never have to remove controller 1 thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoke Monster Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Great work on the controller tool MantaNZ. This will be my go-to controller test program from now on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portnoy Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Awesome tool MantaNZ. I have a few questions/requests. 1. Can you visualize all buttons pressed simultaneously? Currently I can only test 1 button at once. 2. For 6 button controller what frequency are you using for the button sampling (select line, four pulses, third one is for XYZ MODE buttons)? Are you manually sampling the buttons or you're using some ready software? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MantaNZ Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 To be honest most of that went over my head. lol. All written in C using Stef's SGDK. All I do is check for each button's state in a loop. I believe you can only check one at a time at this stage (haven't looked at it for a while). I could change this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MantaNZ Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I'm thinking I might update it with gfx etc. My racing game is on hold as I've jumped on the VR wagon but this would be a cool easy side project. Could even add support for mouse, light guns etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I have looked and I don't even seem to have the rom file anymore. It's out there though as I have seen it included in rom packs - there are plenty of alternatives too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
