Trio Linker Plus Driver V3.4 (Download)   2005-04-12

Trio Linker Plus interface function introduction:

                    

                        

The interface of Trio Linker can be separated into 5 areas

1. Key configuration function. Setting is user friendly, simply use your mouse to click on any position within area 1 and “press any key” will appear. Press any key and you will be able to set the controller to what is indicated in the interface.

2. Displays the movement of the analog

3. Select the controller type used

4. “Joystick”& “Keyboard” selection enables Trio Linker to switch from ordinary controller and mock keyboard function. “Save” records what has been set “Save as” records elsewhere “Load” loads saves.

5.“Advance” sets force feedback function on the controller. “Normal” is the ordinary mode “Compatible” does not provide force feedback function, to turn on the force feedback function, just choose on/off. “Vibration” when “Min” is selected, there will be minimum vibration. “Max” will have maximum vibration.

 

*Note: When 3 different types of controllers are simultaneously inserted to the Trio Linker, Trio Linker would only enable the controller that was first inserted.

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Turbo function

At the Trio Linker main menu interface, click “advance”. On the right hand side of the interface, is the Turbo function. On/Off enables and disables the Turbo function. Enable the Turbo function and setup any button you would like found under “On/Off” button to be Turbo mode. Multiple buttons can be setup. Under “Turbo Selection”, there is a choice of speed. However, please beware that if the speed is too high, the game may not be able to detect the button.

 Macro Function

    Macro Main Window :

Macro function. 
When Joypad Option is set "joystick", Macro function is compatible with PC joypad. On the other hand, when Joypad Option is set "keyboard", Macro functioin is compatible with PC keyboard.

2) Macro Interface function. This function is basically divided into two parts.

Function 1:
This function records all buttons pressed (on the controller/ keyboard) throughout the game. The recording can be replayed over and over again whenever you like during the game. Macro editor can edit the recorded file.

(When recording, there must be a complete record file path. Through Macro Main window "Add", you can add file, input setting value. Then through Macro Main window "Open", run.)

Function 2:
This new function inputs all buttons through Macro Editor into *.joy file as a sequence of different actions. You can then choose any button on the controller or keyboard as the shortcut key. Simply by pressing that shortcut key, you can replay the sequence of buttons that you have set. This function is especially useful for fighting games.

Macro Editor :


*Note: Because of synchronization, save & replay may not be suitable for certain games (such as Racing games as there are time differences). However, in arcade games, it is perfect.
For example: In a racing game, if I start recording at 00:00:00, when I replay, if I am 1 second slower(00:00:01), because of the 1 second time difference between starting to record and starting to replay, it may result to the car crashing or losing control during the replay. Therefore not being able to perform like the recording and finish the race.

(To start Macro function, first set Macro action. Then Click "Apply" in Macro Main Window. The "Shortcut" in Start Replay. Key to Hide is to hide Macro interface. Which can save system resources. When Macro is working, click Exit and Macro will stop all work. "Shortcut" do not use it simultaneously.)

Digital Pad Setting

With the old Trio Linker drivers, when the user use the digital pad, the analog function would also be affected. This would not be a problem for most of the games, as both of the digital pad and the analog stick are used to control the movement of the character in the game. But recently a customer points out that in a PC game, the left analog stick is used to control the movement of the character while the digital pad is used to control the pointer of the menu. The problem is that when the user move the pointer of the menu, it would let the character in the game move to the same direction.

User can set the "Digital Pad Setting" option to "Advance" mode so as to solve the above problem.
