TTX-Monitor+ is a loader for Taito's Type X arcade machines software.
Originally developed by Romhack: ttx_monitor
Some features were added/changed/removed:
- Added support for AxisR and AxisZ
- Added option PovAsAxis
- Corrected the sensitivity of the deadzone
- Added the standard SavePatch function
- Developed a new configuration user interface
- Removed the Direct3D wrapper
- Deactivated the logging engine
The biggest feature should be the implementation of a new DirectInput wrapper with support for mahjong games, namely Psikyo's Taisen Hot Gimmick 5, and in the future, Taisen Hot Gimmick Mix Party.
The SavePatch doesn't work properly with all games, as some like The King Of Fighters '98, Gouketsuji Ichizoku Senzo Kuyou and Trouble Witches will store data but won't read it. A temporal solution would be patching the games accordingly.
Some games like Chaos Breaker and Homura might have speed or other graphical issues in moder systems. A use of an external wrapper like dgVoodoo will likely solve this issues, while some other enhancements may be used as well.
The code has been cleaned up a lot and reorganized completely, with some parts rewritten, so should be easier to see what's going on.
