Xarcade Tankstick Scroll

[William Warnock]

Launchbox 6.11 Windows 7 Issue occurs all the time No launchbox error, functionality issue.

Hello Jason/Launchbox Team, I am a Launchbox premium subscriber and I absolutely love your product!!! I have been working with my arcade cabinet since 2008 using Hyperspin and utilizing an Xarcade Tankstick. Launchbox has been a major upgrade. There is one discrepancy in BigBox that is making it hard to use on my setup. In Hyperspin I was able to scroll through my games just by holding down the joystick or moving the trackball. The Xarcade buttons and joysticks is just keyboard input for all the inputs, and the trackball is just a mouse. I am unable to scroll through games continuously with the joystick like I do in Hyperspin. Right now I have to press the joystick down for every game I need to scroll through, and I'm guessing right now there is no mouse scrolling functionality. Is there something that can be done, other than skipping letters of games so I can scroll through games like I did in Hyperspin?

I have the same issue. Hope to see this improved.

Thanks William; I actually have a Tankstick and haven't had any trouble scrolling through the games while holding the stick. What mode is your tankstick in?

[William Warnock]

My Tankstick is in mode 2 with custom programmed buttons. I totally forgot that the Tankstick had modes, it's been a while since I played with it. Could you share how yours is setup?

[Jason Carr]

I have mine in mode 1, the default. Honestly I'm not sure why mode 2 would cause the scrolling issues, but I haven't tested it either. I'll play with mine soon here to see if I can replicate it. Mode 1 should work fine though if you're willing to tweak your setup.

I set my Tankstick back to mode 1, but i'my still having the same issues. The joystick i'my using is set to the arrow keys in mode 2, and like I said, it's worked in Hyperspin right from the beginning. Very wired issue.

my bad on this. my dual joystick x-arcade in mode 4 works fine. i don't have this scroll issue at all. i thought i saw it before, but it's not happening right now. i'm on latest beta

[Jason Carr]

Wow, that's pretty strange. Especially considering that it's working fine for me on multiple systems. Maybe try disabling game controllers in Big Box? I suppose it could be something weird like that.

[William Warnock]

It is really really strange considering that it works in Hyperspin just fine. I have the Taknstick controls plugged in via the PS/2 connector since I use the keyboard to custom program the controls, Do you have your Tankstick plugged in via USB?

[Jason Carr]

Ah, yeah mine is USB. Still doesn't make sense why that would really make any difference, but that certainly could be it. Believe it or not I don't even have any computers with PS/2 connectors anymore to test with.
