Ebay Trackball speed adjustment
jaharr01:
Does anybody know how you can adjust one of these in windows 7:

I need to increase the trackballs speed. It moves way too slow to play any trackball games effectively. I figured there is probably a registry hack for it out there somewhere.
Slippyblade:
You would adjust it in MAME, not windows.

Oh heck I didn't think about that slippy blade, that will definitely help. I wish there was a way to adjust it for pc games and etc. I wonder if I get a ps2 to usb adapter then windows would recognize it and I could adjust it?
BadMouth:
Does it not even show up in the control panel?
If it does, then:
Start>Devices and Printers>right click on the mouse
select mouse settings
click the pointer options tab
adjust the pointer speed
This will only affect MAME if multimouse is not enabled in mame.ini
If multimouse is enabled, MAME will get raw input data from the individual mice before windows does anything with it.
If multimouse is not enabled, MAME gets the input from the "system mouse" downstream after these settings have been applied. (but there is only one system mouse, so you can't have multiple mice....at least not in windows 7 or older)

Since we are on this topic... I have a regular mouse and a trackball hooked up to the arcade. Sometimes I need the extra usb port on the computer so I unplug the mouse, which screws up the trackball by changing it's number around. Is there a way to set mame to just use input from all mice?
