May be wrong but didn't the Lemmings arcade prototype support a trackball? If so, I wonder why it didn't appear in the list? |

Thanks for the List NOP, im just dl romlister now, i think i just stick with spinner based games, there'll be no room really for a trackball on my bartop |
| Turnarcades:
Thanks for that; I'm about to build my new personal arcade machine with a trackball and spinner, so I can now pick out these games individually and set up the controls as I like them. |

Hmm, Well according to Romlister there doesnt seem to be too many vertical games that have a spinner as a control method: Arkanoid Arkanoid Revenge Of Doh Arm Champs II Atari Mini Golf Block Block Block Cosmic Chasm Imola Grand Prix Kick Kick man Lady Frog Mahjong Block Jongbou Moonwar Paddle 2 Quester Razzmatazz Riddle Of Pythagoras Street Heat Tac/Scan Tempest Tournamment Arkanoid Vs. Host Smash With Tempest & Arkanoid the only games ive heard of, but then i noticed it has listed Gyruss, so what other games has it missed and why?? |

They'll miss because mame uses mame's "newest" input type called "positional" that was added to cover not-quite-spinners (like 12 direction rotaries), and not-quite-analog sticks. Last I checked, listxml doesn't output this type, yet. --- Quote from: NOP on August 28, 2008, 11:55:45 am ---...The biggest problem is that MAME typically describes trackball games as joy8way, so there is going to be a lot of missing entries if controls.dat hasn't described them properly.... --- End quote --- Any examples of these TB games mame lists as 8ways? ??? |
