DOS & trackballs
« on: February 15, 2003, 08:48:51 am »
     If this has been brought up before, forgive me, but the search feature of this message board seems to be on crack, bringing me results totally unrelated to what I searched for.

     Anyone have experience using a PC trackball with MAME in DOS? What trackballs have DOS drivers, or is there a generic mouse/trackball driver that will work for anything. Would my old DOS mouse driver disk work for a trackball?

If the trackball is PS/2 or serial then yes, if it doesn't work I believe there is a DOS mouse driver in the download section that should work. USB trackballs are a bit harder to get working under DOS, your computer's BIOS will need to have DOS USB support enabled, and you may have performance troubles with it.
