Title: mouse events "queueing up"
Post by: krazy_kenny1 on May 14, 2008, 04:56:52 am

I am getting this behavior in several games that I've tried (missile command, centipede, arkanoid...).  The only trackball/spinner game I've tried that doesn't have this problem is arkanoid returns.  Basically what's happening is that the mouse events seem to be "delayed".  I can move the trackball in a circle and then take my hand off of it and watch it finish making the circle i just made over the next several seconds.  In fact, no other input events occur until it is done.  For example, pressing "escape" to exit while the mouse cursor is still moving around on its own does nothing until the mouse "finishes" and then the game exits.  I have a trackball and spinner (both usb if I remember correctly) and I'm using mame 0.118.

I had a similar problem once when I plugged my spinner into a USB2 hub.

Assuming they are USB1.1 devices, plug them into a USB1.1 hub (or try a different USB2 hub).

They're both plugged directly into the motherboard.

Are they USB2 ports tho? Could still be the problem...

I fixed it somehow.  I changed several video settings in mame.ini to fix another problem and now all my mouse devices work flawlessly :cheers:
