This would be good if used with a spinner... --- End quote --- I think finding one that works within MAME is going to be a trick. Volumouse was a bust, at least under 98. For some reason, The sensitivity didn't work quite right either. --- Quote --- As for others wanting a USB volume control (that is not interfacing with a spinner+keypress) ... that seems really silly. As anyone could simply use the Pot from the Audio Amp they probably hacked in the first place? --- End quote --- I don't know how silly it is. What makes you think everyone hacked the amp that is in their machine or would even want to? That kind of thing is a pretty substantial task when compared with simply plugging a Griffen device into the USB port. Personally though, rather than take the chance that the controls would get screwy by attempting to dual-purpose them, I'd just prefer a simple, dedicated volume control knob somewhere on the machine.

My powermate likes to disconnect and I have to replug the USB. It will then work for a few hours or a few weeks. It also is just sitting on my jukebox and not mounted. |

Yeah I liked the original idea. I may have to experiment with this in C#. I found an article on capturing global keystrokes and mouse events: (http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/globalhook.asp) . Really, the only remaining item would be to adjust the volume in windows which I imagine isn't very difficult. I'll keep you guys updated. |
