| How much do you use your keyboard on your MAME cab? |

| CpCaveman:
I`ve done one cabinet build build so far, and speaking as a "retarded person" (bit strong, think you need to look that up in a dictionary btw :) ) I use my keyboard a lot, screen grabs, beta testing different layout/emulators, so when I build another i can just copy the final system to another computer with no problems, it wont be needed when its all DONE but its a damn sight easier to play around with with it there, thinking of setting it up for skype with a hidden webcam under the marquee. Did look at a wireless keyboard but this is my first and you still need somewhere to store it so this was what I chose. and if its not pointed out nobody knows its there :) |

I don't normally plug/unplug anything. Todays boot - no change required. Has me wondering.... I'll keep a close eye on this and see if it relates to (un)plugging things, etc. I could swear things change a lot more often than I change them, but at my age, memory could be failing me. Let's assume for now it's my fault, and if I find otherwise, I'll report back. Got ControllerRemap on the standby, just in case. |

whats mouse 2 and mouse 6? only asking cos i`ve not had any issue with mouse problems as you can see I`m using a trackball and mouse at the same time and not had a problem with anything, not showing off or anything just asking cos if you`re having a problem can guarantee i`ll end up having it, how do you know what theyre called? |

Sorry to OP for the divergence.... the "mouse#" thing is seen in Mame, when setting the inputs. For example, run Mame with Centipede, hit TAB to enter the menu, select "Input (This Game)". In the resulting list you'll see things like "Track X Analog" and "Track Y Analog". If you have optical devices (trackball, spinner, mouse) then you should see "mouse #" there. If you scroll through the list and select one of these entries, hit ENTER, then move your mouse/trackball/spinner, it will set it to "Mouse # ?-Axis", where # is the number I was referring to, and "?" is the axis in use: X, Y, Z. |
