USB spinner and trackball keep changing IDs

Oh wait. Now I'm confused.

You have two spinners and one trackball? I was thinking you have one spinner and one trackball.

Are the spinners ID's swapping around or are the spinner ID's swapping with the trackball??  :dizzy:

OK, forget it, leave me out of this discussion.

I believe they are swapping with the trackball.  I am going to confirm this tonight.

I had the same problem with my driving cabinet which use 6 Dual Strike USB controllers.   I just always keep the USB Hub powered on and this seems to work for me.

I wish someone made a USB Hub which would power the USB connections from Left to Right  everytime, with a configurable "stall" time between each new USB was initialized (if needed).   I guess a lot of people outside of the arcade arena probably could care less about what order USB hardware comes up at all.   Come to think of it, it is possible a lot of people in the arcade arena probably could care less as well   :P

I was having issues with my first build similar to this. I had been using a USB mouse when setting up my cab and whatnot, and after I disconnected the mouse the trackball was assigned a different ID number, so all of my trackball games had to be re-setup. Were you possibly doing something similar?

This is one of the reasons I went with AdvanceMame on Linux.  It is designed to order usb devices first by their name then by their system order.  I have never had my usb devices swap.  Sad to see it is no longer being developed.  I would think the MAME developers could do something similar under WindowsXP?  Maybe?
