I'm starting a new thread hoping that someone who owns or plays this game a lot might have some suggestions. I played it a lot on Sunday and there is no analog setting I can get w/ MAME that is close to the original. I'm not sure the best way to describe it but when I come to an intersection in mame it tends to go in the direction I'm *not* pushing the trackball. This doesn't happen in the real thing. I have a Happs 3" ball and have lubed it up to be sure it's functioning correctly. Windows acceleration is off. This post from a while ago on usenet mentions something similar: Groups.Google.Com Link I have a 2nd happs 3" and I'm going to hook that up tomorrow to see if it behaves the same. I would bet that it will. Any ideas? |

Sadly, I can only report that I've seen the same behavior. -Jeff "etumor" |

On a related note, was the CC trackball mounted at an angle? |

I was wondering about this myself. Earlier this year I was at a party where I met a guy who owned an original Crystal Castles. I asked him about whether or not the trackball was mounted at an angle. He said he didn't really know, but he said he'd check for me. A week later, I received the following email from him: "Hey there! I just took a look in my Crystal Castles, and actually ...the trackball is mounted in straight, just like on Centipede...how about that!" So there you go! -Jeff "etumor" |

I was sorta hoping the trackball was oriented differently since this might be easier to implement if necessary. |
