Joystick only working in 8 directions?

[andrufb]

Is it possible to enable like a "joystick mode" so my joystick stops switching directly from "up" to "up-right" and then "right"? It's weird, it doesn't feel like an actual joystick, more like arrow keys. How can I make my joystick move smoother?

1st of all if you talk about smartphones i cant help u but if its about pc info below can solve ur problem

u are talking about analog and digital mode

analog mode detects in which direction u move ur analog and how far from center

when digital mode only detects if either 1 direction (up <>down <> left or right) or two (up + left <> down + right and so go on) are pressed

if u talk about joystick like this



then it maybe it need drivers or just analog button need to be turned on

but if you talk about gamepad/controller like this



it should have analog button which u just press and it switches from digital mode to analog mode u can see that button in the center of the front side of gamepad

and most of them have it in the center just sometimes they have that button on back side


and then when u got that analog button turned on it should move in all directions and it wont be locked to only 8

if that wont help u then give meh ur controller/joystick name and model and i can check if it have analog mode

but also some of that devices need drivers to work in analog mode but far most have that feature without drivers

In a PSP emulator? You can't. The PSP's "analog nub" could only detect which of the 8 cardinal or diagonal directions it was pressed and whether it was pressed partially or all the way. Even if the emulator can detect with more precision, the games only understand the PSP's limited detection range.

my english is bad but if i did read correctly ur post then how come my analog stick moves smooth in more then 8 directions in all games that uses psp analog?

like for example even god of war games where u move with analog

or do i dont understand here something?

Thank you for your answer, I now understand the difference between analog and digital mode. I'm using an actual PSP as a controller using Fusa Gamepad's plugin. It used to work like an actual joystick but for some reason it now doesn't. I can't see an option in the plugin menu to turn analog mode on/off. The game I'm trying to play is Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.

maybe try PSPdisp 0.6

cause i was never trying to use actual psp as controller so not much i know about it
