Fixed FOV in widescreen!

Been sitting on this update for a while now!

Version 1.5 now uses a scaled optionally-radial deadzone. This means that when an axis exceeds a deadzone, the value of the axis is a scaled value of 1 to axis max instead of deadzone + 1 to axis max (which is just a hard cutoff). That also means if you have normalization enabled (making it radial, I think? Unless I've got my terminology wrong, which I wouldn't doubt), by exceeding the deadzone on one axis, you inherently exceed it on the other; e.g pressing forward to exceed the vertical deadzone also "exceeds" the horizontal deadzone. It gives you a more Dreamcast-esque full range of motion, is enabled on the left stick by default, and disabled for the right stick since camera movement is so sensitive. If you're a sonic-the-car-driving wuss don't like the full range of motion, you can disable it in your xinput ini using the following parameters:

NormalizeL = (0/1, 1 by default)
NormalizeR = (0/1, 0 by default)

To clarify, disabling it gives you a more Gamecube-esque range of motion, and enabling it gives you the full Dreamcast range of motion.
Download on the first page or github blah blah blah.

Edit: Oh, and configurable controls might be coming next update.

Not to mention at least a year or two out of date. I wouldn't bother; just play the Japanese version with English patches. You can just use CyberKitsune's proxy injector if you can't connect normally, which is much easier and safer than using a VPN in either case.

I sort of expected that to happen. Most games weren't designed with variable framerate in mind on the Dreamcast--it was either 30 or 60 with slow-mo lag (and conversely, too fast above the desired value). That being said, Sonic Adventure, for example, has a speed modifier somewhere deep inside since it runs at 60FPS on menus much like Jet Set Radio, and that translates to the ingame speed somewhere down the line as well. The PC version of 'DX took advantage of this to add framerate presets for 30FPS, Dreamcast style 60/30FPS, and full 60FPS.

So I think njRendererSetFpsLock is going to be a requirement, and that we just have to hope there is actually a speed modifier to change.

I'm interested in helping out, and I've got the game on Steam. Not sure how useful I'll actually be though. Looks like it might require figuring out that class, and I have basically no experience with that (since SADX and SA2 PC are pretty much entirely C), but I guess I have an excuse to learn now =P

Either way, those .so/IDBs could be pretty useful for other Dreamcast ports, so thanks for sharing.
