| Mouse/Spinner as Paddle/Dial |
| (1/1) |

Ok, I've searched the boards and the web and haven't been able to figure this out. How do I set up mame to use a mouse based spinner as a dial or paddle? Is it possible. I understand that paddles and dials are pot based, but I thought this was something people regularly did for games like Warlords. I have these settings in my ini file: paddle_device mouse dial_device mouse Any help would be appreciated. |

So for inputs that mixed the two, such as RoadBlasters' limited turn dial & Warloads unlimited turn POTs, mame has to pick one type even if it's not totally correct. --- Quote ---I have these settings in my ini file: paddle_device mouse dial_device mouse --- End quote --- That's how it should be done. It's better than the older -mouse option that is usually suggested. Make sure the correct mouse is mapped to the dial or paddle type; start game, tab, inputs, select dial or paddle, enter, turn spinner. (Details at MameFAQ or easyemu) Also, sometimes a joystick will mess up a mouse's input if mapped to the same input. Either unplug your joysticks, disable them in mame, or do the above suggestion. |
