MiniPac OPti/WiniPac setup for spinner - help needed!
<< < (2/2)
Ginsu Victim:
Have you tried setting it yourself? Maybe it's pointing to the wrong mouse input by default.
shrunkenmaster:
Tried setting it in MAME, yes. I hit enter to set the key, then try spinning, then nothing. Then have to hit esc, which then shows "Mouse X" again. I've tried disconnecting the PC mouse but get the same result. Is there some way of setting up a spinner in the WiniPac util? When I try the 'test controls' option in WiniPac, all the other controls flash up, ie. joy up/down, P1/P2 etc, but nothing happens with the spinner.

Tried adding a trackball/"other control" to the CP in WiniPac but still no joy.

PS. Have mailed Andy Ultimarc to see if he has any clues.
Ginsu Victim:
Did you try spinning at different speeds when setting it in MAME? Sometimes it doesn't want to read it at certain speeds. Try slow, medium, fast.
shrunkenmaster:
Yeah, already tried spinning sloooooooowwwwww, meeeeeeedium, FAST! No change. Thanks for all your suggestions so far Sir Ginsu. Will have to sleep on it now, UK heads need their beds  :) Hopefully a solution will present itself tomorrow for the Jedi  ;D

I don't know if Mala has the same thing as Maximus does but the only way I got my spinner to work in MAME was to add -mouse in the command line section so it runs with every game that is started in MAME.
