Title: Optipac with 4 rotary devices?
Post by: ItzMR2u on March 20, 2003, 03:15:14 pm

I have 2 optical joysticks and 1 trackball and 1 spinner.  If I hook up the trackball and the 2 joysticks to their respective connections on the Optipac that leaves me with the Player 2 Trackball connection for the spinner.  If I hook up the spinner there will I be able to use it for 1 player games even though it's connected at the player 2 spot?  Do I need to run a certain version of Mame to accomplish this set up with the Optipac?  Thanks for any help.

Yes, windows see those as one.
Or you could wire the spinner to rotory 1 with the rotory joystick.

I was wondering the same thing. I have a trackball, two optical sticks, and two spinners. I had planned on hooking up the trackball, then wiring P1 stick and P1 spinner to X2, the P2 stick and P2 spinner to Y2.

I think I may need MAMEAnalog+. Does this sound like it will work?

So the mameanalog+ will covert the vertical axis to a horizontal one so both the spinner and the optical joystick will work properly?
