What's New:
- Trigger rumble when game memory changes
Idea shamelessly lifted from nes6502
- Trigger rumble when pressing emulator button
- View all potential cheat code items
Cheat Codes -> View Current Potential Matches
Cheat Codes -> Continue Search for Cheat Code -> View List of Matches
- View memory dump for cheat codes
Cheat Codes -> View Memory Dump
<get to list of potential cheat code items> -> <select an item> ->
Jump to this Position in Memory Dump
- Poke values into memory
<get to list of potential cheat code items> -> <select an item> ->
Poke value into selection
<get to memory dump> -> <select line> -> <select byte> -> Poke
- Added analog stick sensitivity configuration. Use this to
custom define your analog stick deadzones if you are experiencing
drifting:
Configuration -> Controller Configuration -> Controller # ->
Change Analog Stick Sensitivity
Important Notes
===============
Trigger Rumble by Pressing Emulator Button
------------------------------------------
To assign rumble to an emulator button, go to Configuration ->
Controller Configuration -> Controller # -> Change Rumble Config
Select the emulator button, then configure the motor intensities and
durations. "Continuous" means that the motor will stay on for as
long as you have the button pressed. If "continuous" is not set, then
the motor will stay on for the time specified in the duration fields.
Trigger Rumble when Game Memory Changes
---------------------------------------
This works based off of the cheat-code system. Let's say you are playing
a beat-em-up type game and your player has 5 slots of health. First, you
will want to create a code that represents the players health. Refer to
"Cheating System - How To Make Your Own Cheat Codes" in this document for
an explanation of how to create cheat codes. Once you have the cheat code
set up that represents the health of the player, go to:
Cheat Codes -> List Cheat Codes -> <select player health code> ->
Configure Rumble
From here, you can set up the rumble values (same as with "Trigger Rumble
by Pressing Emulator Button). When you're done with that, go to:
Cheat Codes -> List Cheat Codes -> <select player health code> ->
Rumble Enabled On
to select which controller will get the rumble activated. You can also
choose to have the rumble activate on all of the controllers. Then go to:
Cheat Codes -> List Cheat Codes -> <select player health code> ->
Rumble When
To select if you want the rumble to trigger when the value changes, decreases
or increases. In this case, we'll want to set it to "Value Decreases"
Now when your health goes down, the rumble will activate.

Question, I'f cheats are used to freezed values, you can't attach rumbles to those values ... right? I mean, if you set a value to not decrease (ex. health), then no rumble can be added to life decreasing, ect. If I'm right in thinking this, is there any way to work around this? ---sidenote I'm sure nes6502 wouldn't mind, If I ported stuff and this were my idea, I'd take it as a compliment. Maybee you could just share your work with him.

Thanks Xport! I'm looking forward to messing with this.

The check for whether the value has changed (in order to see if rumble should occur) happens before the values are frozen. So cheat codes and rumble will work fine simultaneously.

hey xp, nice work once again! i see that mednafen also emulates tg-16. any chance of seeing that... or is it even worth the port? i'm unfamilure with it. hugo has a pretty low compatibility compared to all the other emus ported. anyway, thanks for the continued work. good stuff.
You're in luck. He has already ported that part of Mednafen... notice the thread titled "Mednafenx-pce V2" on the front page? That's it (pce = PC Engine). And, yes, it is worlds better than HuGo... especially for CD games.

Hey xport, I've been using the rumble system, setting up different stuff ... I've been working on super mario brothers for quite a few hours. I have a sugestion for another rumble feature. There is rumble for value changes, increases, and decrases ... but could you add when value = xx. For instance, when you get a star on smb, a value clicks on ... if i could set rumble when value = star on ... that would be cool. I've fixed it where [rumble when star value turns on] but the duration can't last as long as the star does. What do you think? Oh, and if anyone wants my configuration for smb, ill upload it when I get it finished ... I'd assume you could copy the save and rename it for hacks and such and it'd would work with them...maybee?
I just made a new version that allows for triggering when equal to a specific value, not equal to a specific value, > specific value, and < specific value. Unfortunately xbins is down atm so nowhere to put it.
The new version will be incompatible with the old vesion though - so you'll need to redo your rumble settings in the new one.

I have a feature request. Can you implement an option to set a custom global palette for all games? The default palette is inaccurate (the dark colors go too bright) and in extreme cases makes some games look horrible to watch. Example: Megaman in cutman stage. With the NTSC TV emulation pallete adjust only makes it worse. I want to use the BMF final 2 and 3 palette. Again thanks for your attention.Best wishes
