| 2x Trackballs at same time for Marble Madness ?? |
| (1/1) |
| Ron:
I'm planning to build an Arcade-cabinet from scratch (using WinXP and MAME for Windows), so I want to know the following: 1. Is it possible to use 2 Trackballs at the same time, to play i.e. Marble Madness using the 2 player mode? 2. Can I do this with two USB-Trackballs too? 3. Which interfaces support USB? Only Happ-control? 4. Does anybody has experience with the USB-Happ-control interface? |

You either need to go pure dos & dos mame, or win98/winME with two USB trackballs & mame:Analog+ (see my sig, below, for link) --- Quote ---2.

Does anybody has experience with the USB-Happ-control interface? --- End quote --- Just got one, works fine on my computer. I have a happs 3" connected with the happs USB interface and a USB kensington trackball (2 1/4") working great on two player Marble Madness with mame:Analog+ and winME. |

hagstrom sells a USB interface that works with the happs track balls. You can also select unique USB IDs on the interfaces so that the machine isn't confused by duplicate devices. |
