Chihiro and IONA compatibility?

[Swirl]

Has anyone been able to use a Chihiro (any type) with an official V3 IONA and latest firmware?

Afaik it works fine with NAOMI 1/2, Triforce, TTX1/2, and Lindbergh but I haven't seen much about the Chihiro. Any kind of personal accounts/experience with the two would be good to know.

As of writing this - I can confirm the V3 IONA with the latest firmware works on Chihiro Type 1.

I’ve played Crazy Taxi 3: High Roller without any issues. I have to make a input file and upload it to the Github so others can have access to it down the line.

The next game I need to try out is OutRun 2. Hopefully there isn’t any major changes in the input file, but will make one available for quick access.

I would like to also try Ghost Squad and Virtua Cop 3 and see if the GunCon 3 support works out the box. But it wouldn’t surprise me if there has to be further adjustments in the firmware to accomodate.

OutRun 2 - Works very well on the IONA V3 and latest firmware; played a lot of Heart Attack and Standard mode like old times. I learned that the Up and Down Shifts were Player 2 - Up/Down and Player 1 - Down is POV Change according to the I/O configuration on the site.

Crazy Taxi 3 - I made an existing configuration file for the first game, but wasn't sure what handled the "Crazy Jump". It turned out to be Player 1 - Shot 1, so I just made the layout very similar to Crazy Taxi 2 on Dreamcast since that release introduced that mechanic.

Both configuration files were played using an OEM Playstation 5 Dual Sense controller and uploaded onto the main Github page for others to access down the line. I'll mirror it here if anything.
