Joystick Mapping

[ghost]

Any support for the PSP's joystick?

Its mapped to the mouse with basically no customization

Which means it would only be useful as a cursor.

Thats just how YoYoGames did it- there isnt anything i can do about it

In theroy you can use it for more than just a cursor- think minecraft- they use just the cursor to look around- by constantly setting the mouse back to one position and seeing how far it moved from that position on each frame you can mimick a 'joystick'

and in theroy you can do this on GM too- you have window_mouse_set(x,y) and window_mouse_get_y() window_mouse_get_x() so you could try do somthing simular

no idea if these functions work on PSP though.

Yeah I attempted your theory earlier after your first reply and it did work on PC but on the PSP when I used draw_self() it didn't boot so I didn't find out if it worked on there. I gave up on it after that.

i remember when we first tried it out we couldnt get draw_self() to work wasnt aware even with the correct fixes made to the .psp builder it still doesnt..

anyway draw_sprite_ext(sprite_index,image_index,x,y,image_xscale,image_yscale,image_angle,image_blend,image_alpha) is the same as draw_self()

this is all just limitations of the PSP GameMaker 8.1 runner anyway- all i can fix is file format issues .. if you want a more complete verison of gamemaker on a portable console maybe look into the PSVita xD

I sold my Vita a couple years ago which is why I'm messing with this instead. Can't really justify buying another one just for messing with GameMaker on it although it is tempting lol.
