MAMEWAH & TRACKBALL QUESTION
Ted_Striker:
I was just wondering if you tested MAMEWAH with 2 mice. I have a ps2 betson trackball and a usb spinner. I've been playing with kymera cause I love the mouse scroll on it. But it was giving me problems with the spinner. I would like to be able to use both mouse and spinner to control the list.
You asked about input suggestions... there you go.
And thanks for the great work.

Assuming they both control the Windows mouse pointer (I guess so), then they will both work in MW. ATM you can only specify one axis to use, so if your spinner is on the x-axis, you would have to set it up for that, and use left/right (not up/down) on your trackball. That said I can easily add the option to use either axis.
I won't have it done for a little while...I started work on a new fully customised input system which has a way to go yet. I might not implement it in the next version, but I want to keep working on it for a while, since it is pretty interesting :)
FoX:
One thing I would add to his would be to have the game list loop if you hit the bottom.
I know right now when I hit the bottom of my list I have to scroll all the way back up if I want to get to the top (instead of just going down one more to get to the top of the list.
Not a *huge* deal but would make the trackball selector that much better (wouldnt hurt to allow the same thing in the options menu either)
cheezeflap:
Maybe a hotkey for the "select list" menu would be nice also
Minwah:
OK I will add the list wrap option (not neccessarily next release, this can just be an option which shouldn't be too tricky to add).
The Select Game List hotkey sounds good, also I will add Select Emulator hotkey. The system I am working on should make it easy to add hotkey events in the future, but any others while I'm at it?...
