n64 analog stick question - please help

[heaveninblack]

I'm using an n64 controller and the analog stick will only go in 8 directions,
N,S,W,E & NW,NE,SW,SE. Is there any way to make it go in between? like NNW?

I've looked around quite a bit for an answer. Is it not configured right, or is it a limitation? do any other game controllers work? lain:



thanks for any input.

when you press it inbetween two directions, lets say N and NW for example it would act as if you were pressing both of them at the same time.

ok, but in that example for me it would just keep going N. it doesn't seem to recognize it.

like if I press up on it it'll go normal, and if I push it slightly to the left, it keeps on going forward in the exact same direction as before, and if I do it a little more, the same thing until I reach NW then it changes to that direction.

Is there full 360 degree support? Maybe its just the games I tried.

thanks for your input.

 

[spartan]

yes it should go a full 360 degrees, you also could see if different input plugins make a difference.

also i forgot to ask, did u ever calibrate the joystick?

 

[heaveninblack]

Nope, I don't know how. how can I do that?

(thanks for your help Spartan)

 

[spartan]

go to start menu, control panel, printers and other hardware, game contollers, you should see the contoller on a list in there, and you should be able to figure out the rest from there.

tell me if i didn't explain clear enough.
