| Using mouse buttons as 1,2,3 on P1 Layout |
| (1/1) |
| jdjuggler:
I'm planning to use the mouse buttons as the 1,2,3 buttons on my 6 or 7 Player 1 layout. Something like this... M1 M2 M3 4 5 6 I want to do this to refrain from adding separate mouse buttons. In this layout my M1 would most likely be my main "fire/action" button. Do I have any reason to be concerned about doing this? Will I have a problem with rapid fire, quick presses of the M1 button? Or pressing multiple mouse buttons at the same time? Or in combinations with other keystrokes? I'll be using a KeyWiz. In my tests.. I haven't found any problems. But, some of you may have more experience with this. Thanks, JD |

I think some people have had problems with simultaneous presses with mouse buttons. I haven't had any problems but haven't used mouse buttons much... Personally I wouldn't use them on the basis that all emulators (& FE's) can handle keypresses - few can handle mouse buttons... |

As MinWah said, shouldn't be a problem for MAME, could be for other programs. --- Quote from: jdjuggler on November 08, 2004, 12:40:29 pm ---Will I have a problem with rapid fire, quick presses of the M1 button? --- End quote --- Not in MAME . . . --- Quote ---Or pressing multiple mouse buttons at the same time? --- End quote --- Not in MAME or that could be avoided by re-mapping controls in MAME, but I don't think even that would be required. --- Quote ---Or in combinations with other keystrokes? --- End quote --- Again, not in MAME --- Quote ---I'll be using a KeyWiz. --- End quote --- Ok, I assume you mean you will be using a KeyWiz for the other keys and a mouse hack for the buttons. I.e., you do realize that the KeyWiz is only a keyboard emulator so you can't program it to send mouse button 1 on a keypress. And an opti-pac only supports the left and right (no middle mouse button), so you would either need to use both inputs (Mouse 1 L, Mouse 1 R, Mouse 2 L) or a mouse hack. |

Correct, the mouse buttons will be direct to the pc (mouse hack). Hmmm.... I wasn't thinking about other emulators as I mostly use Mame & MameWah right now. But, I did plan to get into the other emulators and I can see where the mouse buttons may not (or will not) work as they would in Mame. I'll have to re-think this and figure out where to put mouse buttons now. Thanks for the help. Any other comments are appreciated. JD |
