  1. They work perfectly! It's now a flawless experience with the Tankstick. Even my four-year-old is able to select and change games by himself now. Thank you so much!
  2. I have an Xtension upright arcade cabinet from Rec Room Masters. It uses an X-Arcade Tankstick for control. Stella works extremely well with the Tankstick's default MAME keyboard mapping, if you do the following: Use Stella 4.5-beta2 or later. You can find the beta2 build attached to this post. In Options > Input Settings > Devices & Ports, deselect the "Use Control key combos" checkbox item. This allows 2-player games to work without the Tankstick's P1 key mappings triggering various control-key sequences in Stella. In Options > Input Settings > UI Events, change the Move Up, Move Down, Page Up, Page Down, and Select item actions to the Tankstick events of your choice. I use the left joystick for up/down, the right joystick as page up/down, and the left-side primary button for item select. In Options > UI Settings > Misc., change the "List quick delay" drop-down to Disabled. (This requires a restart to take effect.) This allows your event mappings from the previous item to work properly without attempting to snap the game list to that letter/number. Stella uses the trackball as the P1 analog paddle, but it's not very sensitive by default. In Options > Input Settings > Devices & Ports, increase the "Mouse paddle sensitivity" to 15. I hope this is helpful!
  3. Ugh, user error. Once I exited/restarted, it worked perfectly! Thank you SO much for the holiday gift! I'll be putting in some good quality time playing games with my son tomorrow. All the best, - Chris
  4. Thanks stephena! I'm not sure the "List quick delay" is doing what I need. It seems to affect how/if keypresses are seen as subsequent letters within a title, but it doesn't let me turn off that feature completely. If I set the "Up" and "Down" UI events to "R" and "F", pressing R or F still snaps the list to titles that begin with that letter instead of moving the current selection up/down. Side note - even with "List quick delay" set to Disabled, if I hold the controller up or down, it causes the "R" or "F" key event to repeat, and the repeated key events seem fast enough to still be interpreted as within a quick delay window. But that's just a side note, as what I need is to disable list snapping completely. If this is not clear, let me know and I'll take a video of what it's doing. Thanks again for the great support!
  5. If you provide me with a test build, I'd be happy to test it!
  6. Thank you for adding the -ctrlcombo option to resolve this problem! I've got an upright cabinet for gaming: http://www.recroommasters.com/x_arcade_p/rm-xt-arc-t.htm and the Tankstick uses the MAME default key bindings. I changed the path in my Stella shortcut to "C:\Program Files\Stella\Stella.exe" -ctrlcombo 0 (with the option outside the quotes) and it works perfectly. I have another problem I'm battling, this time in the launcher. Tankstick's key events are causing the game list to snap to that character. I tried mapping the left joystick to up and down and the right joystick to page-up/page-down. But, the '8'/'2' and 'r'/f' keyboard events are causing the game list to snap to that character. How can this "jump-to-character" feature be disabled in the launcher? I am 41 years old now, but six-year-old me thanks for a wonderfully nostalgic emulator! (Edit: my four-year-old son is finding it fun too!)
