MA & Mame: setting up my spinner?
« on: July 06, 2011, 05:27:59 am »
Yesterday I recieved my Tornado USB spinner, but I can't seem to get the thing working with my Mame games...

The spinner is correctly recognized by Windows XP as a mouse (Y-axle) and Maximus Arcade also uses the spinner (I can browse through games). Since I'm running Maximus Arcade with the DOS command line version of Mame, I can't seem to get the thing working in Mame itself.

How can I pull this off?

Add -mouse to the command line parameters in the MA preferences for the MAME emulator.

This did the trick, AND changing the axis of the spinner from Y to X. Works like a charm now, Tempest here I come!  :applaud:
