Spinner as 2-way?
ericball:
Does anyone know of any way (hardware or software) to use a spinner as a 2-way joystick (or 2 buttons) in MAME?

spinners mimic a mouse axis, not a button press, so I wouldn't think it would be possible to do. I've never personally heard of software or hardware that can map a mouse movement to a button press, but if it exists, someone on this board probably knows about it ;)

Hit TAB while in the game. Select Player 1 left, hit enter. Then spin your spinner to the left. Then select Player 2 left, hit enter. THen spin your spinner to the right.
Not sure if this will work, but give it a shot.

That won't work. You need to find a way to set a mouse axis up as a button. If you select say Player 1 left and move your mouse left (essentially what the spinner is doing), MAME won't register anything.
It's definitely harder than that. I'm still not quite sure it's even possible.
