| Using Serial Mouse/Trackball - This thing sucks |

Im in the planning stage of building a new mega-cabinet in place of the cabinet I'm using now (which is a Defender-style cab) I have no place for a trackball right now, so I just use a Serial Trackball/Mouse. I've noticed when trying to play games in Mame w/it, that I only get movement that only goes so fast on the screen. Meaning, if I play a game where you could normally ZIP a cursor across the screen, it only moves at a turtles pace, nomatter how fast you spin the ball.... If I go the way of ordering a ball from Happs, say with a USB connector, am I going to run into this same 'limitiation' or is there something else I need to get the true 'spin speed' out of my balls? (that just sounds wrong) hehe thanks. |

Have you set the analog sensitivity in the Tab > Input menu? ;) |

Actually... I think I did try this (but it may have been loooong ago) I'll try again later today and see if that helps any.... :) |

OKay, I went into a good game to test in (Missile Command) and changed the default sensitivity to 50% instead of 20%. Yes, the cursor moves faster, with less ball spin... which I guess is by design.... But when I spin the ball (say left to right) to get the crosshair over on the right side... the cursor bounces around a little and never goes across. If I roll the ball Slower, the crosshairs respond as they should.. Could this maybe be my trackball/mouse ? Something with the sensors inside not being able to handle 'fast response'? |

Sounds like the sensitivity is now too high. |
