Title: pc games in Mame cabinet question
Post by: DCsegaDH on May 07, 2011, 04:51:43 pm

I'm trying to get more PC freeware games for my Mame cabinet, but some games can only use mouse input on the main menus (I don't have a trackball either). Does anyone know if I could bypass this?

There are programs and autohotkey scripts to convert joystick movement or key presses to mouse movement.
Google is your friend.
