Next joystick testing tool

Post by danboid »

Has anyone written a joystick testing tool for the Next yet? I'd like something similar to the Uzebox controller tester.

If not, are there any games that use all 6 buttons on a Mega Drive controller?

Thanks Xela!

Yes it seems the nextest.nex tool is fine for testing one joystick at least. It taught me that the x, y and z buttons on joystick 1 are mapped to the x, y and z keys on the keyboard.

I presume it lets you test the second joystick port too but I don't have a splitter for my XBP yet to test that.
