Title: Mouse / Trackball games using Opti-Pac small square of movement not full screen.
Post by: strontium on September 12, 2013, 05:24:03 am

Hi Guys,

First thing is to say thanks for such a great product. I'm using the latest arch linux release of GroovyArcade and all I can say is wow, it's great.

Everything runs at great frame rates and looks really authentic on my home built cabinet.

Basically the issue is that on mouse / trackball games like Missile Command and Snake Pit (One of my personal favorites) the trackball moves the cursor / character but they seem restricted to a small invisible square in the middle of the screen. I'm using the opti-pac from ultimar to interface my trackball with my board and would have thought that this is a fairly common setup so I'm really hoping this is a quick fix. Possibly a calibration issue or a setting I'm missing somewhere.

I've tried my best to trouble shoot this but have had no joy, apologies if this has been asked before and is a simple one to fix.

Really hope someone can chime in today with a fix so I can complete my cabinet tonight and get some snaking in  :)

P.s Is there any plans to update wah-cade as list generation on the newer Mame versions seems to not work and the filters seem broken. Minor issue that I have found work arounds for but just wondering if Wah-Cade is even still a live project.

Many thanks

Strontium

Have you found a fix for this issue? I am experiencing the same behavior with my OptiPac and Centipede.

Thank you in advance.
