Windows HID Devices - Locking them down
« on: March 13, 2017, 09:19:05 am »
Hi,

My cabinet has a Spinner, Trackball and an Aimtrak - as well as a Mouse. Id like to be able to lock down the four HID ID's of these devices in Windows so that I can avoid re-configuring MAME etc whenever I unplug them all to move the cabinet - does anyone know of an answer to this problem?

Cheers

Mark

Or (more natively and far easier) do this (in newer MAME versions): http://docs.mamedev.org/advanced/devicemap.html
