So is there any way to run, say, XP and 2 trackballs and a spinner? I'm looking to run to TBs as well, and don't see any other way other than Win98 and Analog...
Thanks!

wow, thats an old thread.... ;-) got confused for a minute there.
I believe the restriction on dual mouse/tb inputs was been (rather superbly) worked around in XP and you should be able to run that fine in XP - possibly even with regualr mame. I'm sure someone here with the hardware can confirm it.....

I was wondering why there was so much outdated information in this thread... ???
Regular Mame still won't support multiple trackballs properly, particularly in Windows XP. Let me know if I have this right: In Windows 9x, regular Mame can use multiple trackballs (usb only), but the 1st trackball will control everybody.
In Windows XP you can use multiple trackballs & spinners using Mame Analog+, and there is no restriction to USB mice. You can mix-and-match ps/2, serial, and usb mice.
There is no way to use multiple mice in Windows 2000.
In Windows 9x, you can use multiple mice & spinners using Mame Analog+, and they all have to be USB.

so let me get this right- in XP, you CAN use 2 trackballs and also have at least ONE spinner running- is it possible to get TWO spinners and TWO trackballs as well? I don't know what Mame Anaglog+ is- is that the Mame software? Are there any limitations to that? I maybe getting in over my head with adding all this- I might just keep it simple for this first one. LOL.
Thanks
