I have a Happ translucent tracball. I plugged it in to test and it functions as a mouse perfectly. My question is how do I make it control the games like centipede, etc;?

what system are you playing centipede on MAME?

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

I am running MAME, and i have the Maximus frontend.

Not familiar with how to do much of the technical stuff, so any good direction would be appreciated.

when you start centipede hit the tab button and go to input controls this game hit enter to select then yo need to set the x and y settings for the track ball scroll down to each setting and when you hit enter it will prompted you to set the trackbal, move the ball to the left to set the X and move the ball down to set the Y you should be good after this
