1-6 button + twin stick skins with Joystick/Dapad and 4 button 3d fighter fix1.1


(0)

Description


This skin is for the Manic emulator app only.

This is the mega collection of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 button and twin sticks lay out with a fix for the 4 button 3d fighters like Tekken 3 and rival schools. Variety of colors, and a layout for every game no matter the number of buttons, no more having extra buttons getting in the way, or having too little buttons. With this collection all your arcade button troubles will go away. 

Its comes in 2 stick types, Joy-Stick is the normal labeled ones (no Dpad in name) , the D-pad has Dpad in name and zip.

Don't know which zip to grab? Grab the starter pack to get every layout in the Flagship color Nightfall Purple. (You should be able to unzip straight in app while importing)

Install instructions: Click Assign skin, then click new Skin, then open file, then select the starter pack, then open. when manic shows the zip file handling screen select the starter pack zip then confirm. If that doesn't work you'll have to unzip it first in the files app then open it the same way but this time selecting the manicskin instead of the zip. All other zips besides the starter pack will have to be unzipped first because they have zips in them for the separate e.g. colors/screen size (Fullscreen/standard.)

Every skin and set will install next to eachother so mix and match as you see fit.

PS. If you have a iphone (14 pro+)  with a dynamic island (the pill notch) use the dynamic set its got more space around the edge to factor in the lower notch. (Tested on XR and 17 Pro) (ps. the original set may work on your dynamic island phone if you hold the phone a certain way (if not use dynamic).)

 

4 button decision Classic or Tekken-Rival Fix?

Both are 4-button layouts. They look the same and can be installed side by side.

- **Classic**: the bottom-left button is Button 2 only. Use this for most 4-button games.
- **Tekken-Rival Fix**: the bottom-left button sends Button 2 **and** Buttons 5 and 6 together. Some fighting games (Rival Schools wants Button 5, Tekken wants Button 6) need those extra buttons, and this gives them to you without a 6-button layout.

## Button mapping

Manic EMU's arcade core numbers the buttons like this:

| Skin input | Arcade button |
|---|---|
| `b` | Button 1 |
| `a` | Button 2 |
| `y` | Button 3 |
| `x` | Button 4 |
| `l1` | Button 5 |
| `r1` | Button 6 |

A game that needs Buttons 1 to N needs every number from 1 to N present on the skin, which is why 1-Button uses `b` and 3-Button uses `a`, `b` and `y`. 
Ive tested the Tekken fix on regular fighters and other games and I've had no problems, but I can't rule out button conflict in some game so there's 2 sets. 

Classic 4 button = dosent work on Tekken 3 or rival but works with all the others I've tried. 
tekken fix 4 button = works with games I've tried and Tekken 3 and rival schools. but can't rule out what I haven't tried so, if the game registers the extra inputs use classic.

Layout iPhone iPad
1 button Button 1 Button 1
2 button 2, 1 1, 2
3 button 2, 1, 3 1, 2, 3
4 button top 4, 3 / bottom 2, 1 same as phone (diagram order)
5 button top 4, 3, 5 / bottom 2, 1 same as phone
6 button top 4, 3, 5 / bottom 2, 1, 6 same as phone

Button roles vary by game. For example, in Golden Axe the middle button on a phone 3 button skin is attack and the left is jump, while in Turf Masters the left button aims left, the middle shoots, and the right aims right. If a button does something unexpected, check the game's controller menu in Manic EMU, since the same button number can mean different things in different games.

For more info and photos check the github.

**Prefer a sequential button layout (Button 1, 2, 3 from left to right)? The button order in these skins follows Manic EMU's arcade mapping, and the Button order diagram on the GitHub page shows exactly what each button sends. If you'd like a sequential version, you can open an issue on the GitHub page or just leave a comment here, whichever is easier. If enough people ask, I'll consider making an alternative set. But be forwarned a 4-5-6 Button order will break games like street fighter I've tested it.**

I’d like to add that it isn’t ai slop if that’s what anyone thinks and skips it because of that thought. I had to have a ai help with the json files and with making the pngs because I didn’t want to personally do that because I don’t know a thing about coding and I didn’t want to have to hand make a bunch of png pictures myself because that’s a lot of work and I don’t got that kind of free time to make that many files, but I wanted people to have a choice in colors and button schemes. If I could spend the amount of time it would take to do every json file I would but that’d be crazy for one person. But I personally decided what the layouts looked like, the color schemes to go with, the way the buttons looked, all the testing and tweaking, figuring out how to fix some of the mapping issues like the Tekken 3 and rival schools using separate inputs that a 2d fighter on 4 button doesn’t use. I spent Atleast 100+ hours of my time fixing, deciding the looks, tweaking and testing stuff the ai couldn’t or didn’t understand to do because it doesn’t got thumbs to factor into how everything is set up and the only thing it could see was just the png and json not how it worked or looked in the app. I will agree ai helped with the boring stuff like writing the finished json file batches after I tweaked each button setup by hand and making the actual png to use for each color scheme I choose and tweaked to my liking but other than that I personally put in the time to make it look and act the way it is and tested the skins personally. I’m sorry if anyone’s upset that I used ai to assist me with the difficult and hard for a single person stuff like all the json files and making 100s of png files but that’s it everything else is 100% genuine human thought and love and effort put into it. I just want to help the community have more options when it comes to gaming comfort
