Increasing Trackball sensitivity in Rampart
« on: July 07, 2005, 09:11:03 pm »
I have a 2.25" trackball. Rampart is the only game I'm really having trouble on. What's the simplest way to REALLY increase the sensitivity? I seem to remember changning SOME setting to it's max a few months ago and it helped a lot, but not quite enough...

Bumping already?  I just read your first post seconds before you bumped.  Patience, not everyone reads every 12 hours.  ;)  For example, I usually only check about once a day.

tab - analog settings - trackball sensitivity

key/joy speed might help a little, too, but sensitivity is the one you want.

Check the times on the posts, it's been almost a day (I guess I logged on later last night than I thought I did)

I've bumped the sensitivity myself to 255% (max) and just can't get it to feel right. The trackball just doesn't get sensitive enough to move the wall pieces in place. I don't remember how the original game felt, but I assume you just had to move the trackball a bit to get the cursor to move?

Anyone else have luck with it?

The higher resolution encoder wheels from GroovyGameGear can give you a serious boost, and not with choppy software accelleration, either.  They are absolutely worth getting.
