Sorry for the long delay - been busy.  So I finally dug out my Roller Controller and Ultimate PC Interface (v3), and have confirmed what you need to do to get it working.

 

No problem for the delay, man. I was busy too in the last couple of weeks. I read your instructions only this evening.

 

And it worked!

 

I already reset the UPC, so this was not a problem anymore.

 

Two things I do differently from you :

1. The roller controller was plugged in the power supply before I plugged the 9-pin connector into the UPC;
2. I only use the auto-sense on the roller controller 1...

 

Thanks a lot for taking the time to explain everything in details.

But that's my understanding of the mapping file

It was mine understanding too, until I note that :

1. My understanding is that you need both controllers plugged in.  I believe one controller handles y-axis movement and the other the x-axis.
2. You press keypad "0"

Let me know if you're still having problems and I'll dig out my Roller Controller and try it with my V3 interface.

Still no success... I would appreciate if you could test it yourself when you have time.

 

Two more observations, maybe they are irrelevant...

The two DB9 connectors are labeled A and B. When I connect only one regular Coleco controller, I have to connect it to B if I want it to work. So B is for player 1 and A for player 2.

The roller controller connectors are labeled 1 and 2. Should 1 go to A on the PC interface and 2 to B? Or doesn't it matter?

 

What does the mapping (COOLCV_MAPPING.TXT) look like after you successfully plug the roller controller?

Did you follow the instructions on the Ultimate PC Interface website?  In particular, the Rollerball switch must be set to "Rollerball" and not "Joystick".  Also, ensure that you follow the Autosense procedure for the particular version of the PC Interface that you have.

Yes, I did follow the instruction for the V3 on the PC Inerface.. And the roller was set to Roller. I have two questions though :

1- Must both Coleco controllers be plugged into the Roller Controller?

2- Which button must I hold while triggering the Autosense? Keypad 0 on the first Coleco controller attached to the rollerball? Or the top left red button on the roller controller?

 

Thanks for your time

The rollerball support (enable Roller Controller) is the spinner. CoolCV supports the steering wheel, rollerball, and SA controller. I have tested all of these with the Ultimate Interface.

How did you manage to get the roller controller to work? I use the latest version of CoolCV with the Ultimate Interface, but the ball doesn't work (only the fire button). Of course. I enabled it by pressing F5.

The regular coleco controller works well.

 

Thanks
