That could be good on the wiki.... --- End quote --- Actually, setting up multiple USB mice in the latest MAME is dead simple. Set mouse 1 paddle_device mouse dial_device mouse trackball_device mouse lightgun_device mouse in MAME ini. Plug in both mice. Start MAME (any game) Tab - Inputs (all Games). Player 1 Controls - Trackball X - Press enter and spin Mouse 1 horizontally Player 1 Controls - Trackball Y - Press enter and spin Mouse 1 vertically Player 2 Controls - Trackball X - Press enter and spin Mouse 2 horizontally Player 2 Controls - Trackball Y - Press enter and spin Mouse 2 vertically Similar for dial, paddle, and lightgun if desired. Thanks Derrick for implementing this!!!! |

This is all a bit technical for me :dunno, but would the TURBO TWIST 2 work with the MINIPAC and how hard would it be to wire up ? Also should I buy it with the Energy Storage Cylinder , I plan on getting the steering wheel also the big blue , and maybe the Token Top. I've never used a spinner (well not for about 15 years ) but plan on adding one to my new CP. Any help would be great , but pleeeze keep it simple :cheers: |

Another interesting piece to the polling rate puzzle. While looking into why the Tempest spinner control broke in 113u2, I found out the game polls the controls 246 times a second. Being a vector game, there is no vblank to poll at so it sets its own poll timer. So that means you really do need to use a USB interface with the XP poll rate switching program I mentioned earlier to set the rate to 250 - 500. 500 would be best. But 250 is still OK. Only 4 of the 246 game polls would contain 2 windows polls, the rest would be 1:1. Using a PS2 at 200Hz polling, then 46 of the games 246 polls would be 0 or unchanged from the last poll. Some people may not notice the difference, just like some people can't hear the distortion when their stereo is turned up too loud. But for the ultimate in smooth emulated behaviour, you need 250+ poll rate, so the data is available when the game requests it. And yes, Tempest should be fixed for 113u3. Silver... You might want to mention some of this on the Wiki page too. And change "gbe" in the 3rd paragraph to "be". :) Thanks. D. |

The first one is that this info barely exists. Derrick Renaud asked for some help in compiling this info a while back, but I think he only came up with a couple of games worth. --- End quote --- Ughh. I think I came up with the "couple games worth", but I also think I promised to get some more, and then forgot about it entirely. That was around Christmastime, work kicks my butt that time of year. It's kicking my butt now too, but I'll try to get on this project again soon. |

Randy, Anyone? I've looked at several threads on the tt2 looking for different sensitivity settings and have found several. Thanks to those that posted them. My question is what should the Digital Speed setting be on that same analog controls menu where you set the sensitivity? Encryptor |
