Title: Dual Trackball Support
Post by: mortacci on February 16, 2005, 09:12:18 pm: I was able to get 2 trackballs working with DOS mame.67 for player 1 analog and player 2 analog. But when I upgraded to DOS mame .90 the player 2 analog doesn't see it anymore. Any Ideas? Please help.

Thanks,
Mortacci

Post by: Lilwolf on February 17, 2005, 12:50:52 pm: Since there are very few dual trackball games... especially which have been added recently... Why upgrade?

most frontends can handle more then one version of mame (mine doesn't anymore since I removed the listinfo parser... so you need listxml without hacking your own)...

But if there isn't a reason to upgrade for a given game... then just keep two copies around.

and I believe that they removed this when Aaron redid a bunch of the controller code 6 months + ago

Post by: mortacci on February 17, 2005, 02:04:31 pm: Well, I downloaded the latest .92 rom set the other day and I thought I had to upgrade my mame version to play the new games. Isn't this correct?

I was hoping to get the GT99 and GT2k to run in Cocktail mode so player 2 trackball would work. Is there a good way to do this?
