Gamepad acting up? Keyboard not responding properly? Can't get that other user to work? Read and post about it here.

Wacom tablet on the menu

Post by Gleasonator »

This isn't quite a "controller issue", but this seemed like the best forum to address this, as it deals with input.

Using a Wacom tablet, moving my pen just a tenth of a millimeter and the mouse on ZSNES will fly across the window. It's to the point where I have to either plug in a standard mouse or just alt+F4.

Anyone know what may be causing this/how to fix it? In case you don't know about Wacom tablets, it's not a "pick up and drag" sort of thing like a mouse. Rather than dragging the pen, picking it up and moving it back and dragging again (as you would do with a mouse), each point on the tablet corresponds to an area on the screen, and I predict that this may have some bearing on this issue.

Thanks for any information.

No clue at all. But you know the menu can be navigated totally by keyboard, right?

...

At least, I THINK all the dialogs are keyboard-friendly now.

This happens regardless of resolution. Navigating via keyboard works, but is a pain. :P

I believe you can turn the sensitivity down in the config file. It wont exactly be a smooth transition from background to zsnes, but zsnes was never intended as far as I know, to be controlled like that. zsnes has a similar issue with my mouse. It's a logitech G5. On the middle sensitivity setting it flies like crazy on zsnes. I have to turn it down to reliably click things.

Thanks a ton, after setting it to 75 I was able to get an acceptable result. That did the trick. :)
