MAME Trackball/Spinner Jerkiness
<< < (2/2)
dema:
I'm having the same problem with my trackball and spinner, but the thing is that I have a few of the GP Wiz 49 way encoders, which I understand is read as if they are a gamepad. I have a Mini Pac for the trackball and spinner.

I have my joysticks set to 1 because it wasn't reading in MAME until I made the change.

I wasn't sure if the gamepads were the problem. But how would I solve this problem if I can't remove the GP Wiz encoders without totally ruining my control scheme?

My trackball and spinner problem has for the most part been solved. By replacing my 2.0 hub with a standard 1.0 hub the trackball and spinner are no longer schizophrenic. For some reason when I first start up a game using either the trackball or spinner the character moves to the top left of the playfield, even when the control is not being moved. However, after I monkey around with the controls for a minute during the game, or go into the tab controls and move around a little bit it starts to work out.

In time I'll try to figure it out, and I still have a lot of software and aesthetic tweaking to do, but right now I'm just so happy that I'm able to get movement and play out of my arcade!!!
