Didn't that thread say that code was already put into MAME for that purpose? (I thought) (n/t)

In Reply to: MAME controls to make an 8way act like a 4way question posted by bill connolly on 1, 2000 at 7:54 AM:

: There was a thread on this a couple of months ago whicsh I can't find here or in the archieves. I haven't personally used MAME in almost 2 years but got my trackball and am mounting controls. Trying to determine if I need to mount a separate 4way stick.

: The thread seemed to indicate that you could change something in MAME so 8ways would act like 4ways. There was a lot of discussion on the mechanics but when I posed the question, "does this mean I don't need a separate 4way stick and can use my 8way to play 4way games by modifying MAME to ignore diagonals", no one responded, probably because I posted the question several days after the thread started.

: So if someone has an answer I would appreciate it. Thanks everyone.
