Reyann Zero Delay Arcade USB Encoder - Pc

desertcart.com: Reyann Zero Delay Arcade USB Encoder Pc to Joystick for Mame Jamma & Other Pc Fighting Games for American Style Arcade Joystick & HAPP Style Arcade Buttons : Video Games Review: Perfect little USB Joystick Encoder - This little USB Joystick encoder was a great find. I use it with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 to create a custom switch box for the planes that I fly. My switch box has buttons that allow me to do things such as lower the landing gear or set the flaps. I'm sure it can be used with many other simulation games. The setup for this board is a breeze when just using "momentary" button switches (a switch that is similar to a keyboard button, where it just goes down and immediately returns up). Here you can have up to 12 momentary buttons plugged in. Plug the board's USB cable into the PC and the game immediately recognizes the board as a "Generic Joystick Control". Using the game, I was quickly able to map certain game keyboard commands to each of the 12 buttons on the board. It works great! Takes just a few minutes to get it running. However, If you plan to use other types of buttons or switches, such as two or three way toggle switches, then you'll need to use a third party utility called "RSMapper". This software is fairly easy to use. I watched a YouTube video and was able to understand it quickly. The software allows you define how toggle buttons should function in their different states. You use this software to assign your game's keyboard events to the toggles (don't use the game to map them). It also has some cool features, like when you click a button it performs some keyboard event, and if you hold that same button down for more than a second it performs a different keyboard event. I'm very happy with this purchase. I know I've just scratched the surface on what this little board can do. I have not tried setting up a joystick. POV or dial switches. I'll try and edit this review down the road and share my results. Review: Works Great as a Replacement PCB for Older Fightsticks on PC & Some PS4 Games - This was used as a PCB replacement for a Mad Catz TE Fightstick that was not working on my PC. The quick connects that this encoder came with were a bit wide for the Sanwa buttons previously installed, but they still work. The quick connect buttons are not insulated on the tips, but if you're working a plastic or wood case this shouldn't matter much. One weird thing is that my joystick movements were detected in reverse - Up was down, left was right, etc. I had to remount my joystick 180 degrees and then it worked perfectly. After installing the new PCB in my fightstick, I tested it on my PS4 with SF IV and it worked great, I'll test it with SF V later today and see if it has legacy support. I had to move some of the connections around and use the "gamma" Fightstick setting so that R1 acted as a heavy punch and everything mapped correctly. I did not test the turbo buttons and only wired the main 8 face buttons, as well as "start" and "select". I imagine that this works with the PS3 as well since it was working on PS4. I am unsure if the PCB for the Zero Delay has any markings on the rear that tell you what button should be plugged in, but after looking online I found the following button mappings: I'll cross reference this with my own wiring once I open up my fightstick again. Starting on the left of the bottom row of the PCB moving right: 1. Triangle (Medium Punch) 2. Circle (Medium Kick) 3. X (Light Kick) 4. Square (Light Punch) 5. R1 (Heavy Punch) 6. L1 (L+M+H Punch) 7. R2 (Heavy Kick) 8. L2 (L+M+H Kick) 9. Select 10. Start My PC had no problem registering the fightstick and it worked well on MvC3 after using a custom button mapping. If I come across another cheap TE fightstick, I'll likely replace the PCB with another of these Zero Delay encoders instead of using a much more expensive Brook PCB.
