Some Questions on Config
« on: December 12, 2004, 02:51:09 am »
Hey guys-
Got my cab up and somewhat running tonight- oh man this rocks!  But I'm having some problems, not sure how to correct them. Can you help?

Running:  XP Home, Analog +, 2 TBs, 7 buttons for each player, 2 players, 2 spinners.

On my left TB- the left/right directions don't work unless I apply some pressure down on the TB itself- I am thinking I just need to tighten up the mounting underneath it possibly?

Also- I try to run specific games, say, Super Mario Bros, and it starts, then kicks itself back into the Mame window and I lose control of my left mouse button (player 1 button). If I close Mame, restart it, I get it back. What's this about?

Also- I enabled mouse support in Mame- but don't see anywhere in there that says to enable 2 trackballs and spinners- do I need to do this, or, will it automatically detect it? (I have yet to hook up the spinners- ran out of wire tonight!).

Any ideas on any of this stuff?
Thanks
D

Standard MAME does not support multiple trackballs.  If you are using Analog Plus, the tab menu will have additional options on the dual trackball games for assigning trackballs to each player.

Ahhhh- ok- yeah, just found out last night how to access the tab menu (I had my keyboard remapped somehow).  I'll check into that as well.
Thanks!
