Taito Type X diagonal movement

[banjoted]

Hey all.

I've got Gigawing Generations running through Launchbox but despite successfully configuring my joystick with both of the config executables, I cannot get diagonal movement in-game. Googling I've found several people reporting of similar troubles (and some talk of xpadder that I don't quite understand), but I was wondering if anyone else has had any luck tackling the issue? 

Incidentally I struggled trying to lose any of the loaders out there - I found it a lot easier to get the game running with the Simply Austin download.

Thanks in advance!

I run it straight through Teknoparrot pointing to the game.exe (none of the loaders like Game Loader All RH) and no issues with controls.

Thanks. I've tried dabbling with Teknoparrot this morning and while the setup all seems straightforward, whenever I try to launch the game it gets a couple of seconds in and then comes up with a big 'Game Stopped' message ?

how can do you setup teknoparrot with LB?

Having failed to get things working with TeknoParrot, I then tried with Typextra this morning. Again, everything's up and running but no diagonal movement still ?

FYI I've managed to sort this with a combination of Typextra and JoyToKey. Thanks for your help people.

Add TeknoparrotUI.exe as the emulator. In the default command line parameter add --profile= and in the Associated Platforms tab add the platform name you import the games to.

For the game itself import a text file named after the game. Then edit the game after import and in the emulation section check the box for custom command line and add --profile={{game userprofile}}.xml

Replacing {{game name userprofile}} with each game's UserProfile xml. In your TeknoParrot emulator folder look in the UserProfile folder and that is where you will find the xml for the game.

So for example After Burner Climax the profile command line would be --profile=abc.xml (images below)

I recently redid a lot of these games as I saw users playing them directly through Tekno. I had the Austin versions and ones from Colpipes that used the loaders. No matter what I tried I could not get the games from them working directly in TeknoParrot. So I got rid of them and went to the Emuline site and just got the games from there. Now they all work fine in Tekno, no loader junk.
