Mame supports whatever devices are recognised as controlers in windows... So effectively you could use this to power a trackball and a spinner, and no you don't need any special version of mame. You Just have to tell it what controls you're using.

KonkeyKong:
could this be used to build a Star Wars yoke perhaps?

Real Star Wars yokes use potentiometers, not optics. Somebody did build a homebrew Star Wars yoke based on optics several years ago. I can't find a link for it (anyone?), but I believe the trouble was that it would lose calibration after a bit of play time. I think he eventually ditched the optics and put pots on there instead.

The mouse Z-Axis works in MAME as of 0.94u3. I believe U_Rebel had it in Analog+ a while before that.
Randy- Looking forward to it!
