Has anybody built a control panel with 2 track balls for marble madness? If so, what kind of interface do you use? The mouse hack won't work unless you can use a USB mouse (only one PS/2 mouse port). |

You can use the OptiPac, USB mouse hacks, or one of Oscar's preconfigured mouse hacks. http://www.oscarcontrols.com/ - for Oscar's USB hack - check the ordering & pricing info screen http://www.ultimarc.com/ - for the Ultimarc OptiPac http://jstookey.com/arcade/720/720-arcadejoy.php - I've got some information here about how I did a mouse hack, and there are also a few links to the two mouse hack pages that walked me through the process. Windows 9x and XP have support for multiple trackballs using a special version of Mame called Mame: Analog+. Get it here: http://urebelscum.speedhost.com/ XMame has support for multiple mice under Linux. AdvanceMame has support for multiple trackballs under Linux. I think that the DOS Mame can handle 2 trackballs, but it they have to be serial mice. Marble Madness is such a great game. I've been playing it relentlessly. I got a friend to come by regularly - I'm trying to get him to be as good as me so we can have some intense vs. action. 1 player mode is crazy enough as it is. With 2 players, it's a whole new game. What fun! |

I eventually plan on adding 2 more spinners to my cab (for a total of 4) so my friends and I can play 4-player Warlords...... great game. I am going to use Analog+ for WinXP to get them all working. |
