this is for the people who get the Joystick Bug

Lucky dude. I'll never try the hack as long as this bug exists as I love this mini too much.

A lot of people are failing to read that this CFW can render the joystick useless...
people need to learn to read.

It seems that the bug is not 100% to occour. Maybe we used a problem fw. Can anyone provide a perfect fw, thanks a lot!

thats not happening until someone figures out whats causing the issue though.

i've followed the tutorial on YT, and everything ok for me ... no joystick issue.

 

[WD_GASTER2]

depends on the model or joystick part being used probably.

We just flashed a fw with 80 games.
But the stick bug was still there.
Here is a video demonstrating how to test the stick bug.
The left direction is easy to trigger, but the other three directions are not.

We hope all the players should test your hacked NGM.

Out of curiousity, has anyone in the US has gotten the Joystick Bug? Everyone I keep hearing about it, has been from a European country, and if thats the case, I think im gonna buy one direct from Europe. I know they are the same as the US version (thats evident) but something's not adding up. I flashed over 40 yesterday from various people who wanted it flashed, along with my 3 Internationals and 1 Christmas Edition. I have yet to have seen this Joystick Bug actually happen.

Thank you very much, Sir. The method is to replace all the four 10K resisters by 5K. I got it and I will have a try.

But, why is it a hardware bug. I used to think it should be a software bug.

I will replace it as soon as possible, and I will let you know the result.

I am getting to know why it is a hardware problem, because there are at least three different hardware version of the joystick motherboard. Thus, the system config must be modified to adjust the prameter of the dead zone for each version.

That actually explains a LOT... the ones I've flashed all have just the ngm-v1.0 tag on it Also I have seen this in the actual mvsnjemu code:

Which i've worked to modify and i'm in the process of compiling. Also i'll open up my Christmas edition today and get you the controller of that as well.


Side note, i've also added in a bios selector, and controller config menu... if that works out, you may not need to mess with the controller hardware itself, so wish me luck

 

[shinrukus]

Also I created a fork of the original ngm menu. This is open source code btw no piracy.

@dclaneta Are the resistors 0805?

Great News that we have a lead for fixing this issue once and 4 all, and that you guys are already working on it!
