View Full Version : neGcon controller in Ridge Racer emulator

I'm trying to use my Namco neGcon on viva nonno but have hit a slight snag...

After some fiddling with the code I managed to get the neGcon (with the buttons set as I wanted) to recognise on the control test screen (accessed in the rom by holding down 'q' and pressing 't'). On this screen all axes are shown to be working properly, analog and everything, but upon putting in a coin, the gas pedal won't select anything and the only thing I can control is 'music select up' and 'gear shift up'.

When the select time runs out and the game starts up, obviously it's still the same... no reaction from the negcon other than gear shift up.

The code I'm running for the emulator's set-up is as follows: (the green bit is the control code but I thought someone might need to see the other stuff, just in case)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I've searched all over the Internet for help with this to no avail, so I really hope someone here can assist. I'm guessing it's something quite simple and that someone must have managed it somewhere. The text doc that comes with the emu urges people to use the neGcon and has the basic code, I just don't understand why the rom recognises the control right up until a game starts...

Thanks.
