Title: Can mouse buttons be used in emulators?
Post by: transfan on August 02, 2010, 02:27:41 am

As a 1p 2p start?

OR

Alternatively, can keys be used to simulate mouse clicks in windows?

It really depends on the emulator....  For some you may have to use a program like XPadder to assign a keyboard key to the mouse button.  When you press the mouse button XPadder will send the keyboard input for it and basically treat it as a normal keyboard input.

In mame anything goes, and mouse buttons are P1 button 1 and P1 button 2 by default, outside that it is mostly mouse buttons, perfect for dealing with the GUI of your OS.
