can you use 4 spinners simultaneously? (I know it's overkill)

Hello.

I have a 4 player cabinet with 4 slikstik tornados and was wondering how to set them up.

I looked into this a while back ( I had to shelve my cab project for a while) and was told that mame analog could handle it. But was told recently that the current version of mame would work. I would much rather use one version of mame for all my needs if I can get away with it.

I was told at that mame forum that:

Have a spinner per mouse axis (2 mice). For example:

P1 = mouse 1 x-axis
P2 = mouse 1 y-axis
P3 = mouse 2 x-axis
P4 = mouse 2 y-axis

and I guess I would just change the y-axis for p2 and p4 to an x direction in the configuration? How does one do this?

Thanks in advance!!

You don't, you tell P2 & P4 DIAL_ANALOG to use the mouse Y-axis.  I just replied at MameWorld something to the same effect.

The only thing I can't remember is if you can now use dual mice in all Windows versions (& standard MAME).  I'm pretty sure you can...

I don't think so.

The latest MAME works for dual mice under Win98.

For XP, I think you need Advance MAME (0.96 and up) or MAME Analog Plus 0.83.2.

But they might have slipped the RawInput stuff into a recent core build and it works on XP now and I missed it. >:(

I'm not sure, I expect you are right about it not working.  My few months off didn't do my memory any favours.

Sorry if I mislead you Rhetro.
Rhetro:
Thanks for your input Tiger-Heli!

So as of now, I need either Advance Mame or Mame Analog 83.2, correct?

Mamewah, as far as Tiger-Heli's info on:

...But they might have slipped the RawInput stuff into a recent core build and it works on XP now.

Do which Dev to ask back at the Mame Forum on that?

Thanks in advance!
