Title: Mouse 2 Spinner = fire button but no movement in MAME32
Post by: heebeegb on September 11, 2008, 12:53:32 pm

I have a PS2 mouse hacked into a Spinner.
I can make it fire (Left Click) in MAME32 but no movement.
I tested to make sure and mouse does work in windows.
both axis work fine and so do buttons (In Windows)
but only fire button works in MAME32. No movement in MAME32

I checked online and even checked in this forum.
No answers yet.

Thanks to anyone with direction.

I clicked the box and mouse firebutton (Left Click) started to work.
Still no movement when I move the mouse.
Everything works fine in Windows, so I know the mouse itself is okay.

ARe you sure you are using the right axis? Try it on a trackball game.

I feel foolish!  ::)
I was testing it in Gyruss the whole time! :banghead:
I just tried it with StarTrek and it works fine.

New Question!
How to make spinner work in Gyruss.
I'm sure it's as simple as <TAB> config.
but thought I would ask WHILE I explained my earlier stupidity.

Thanks everyone for walking with me on this one.
I feel like such a NEWB

Not that easy.  Read this thread (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=81745.0).

I had found it earlyer today and had to stop reading it half way through.
It's doable but man what a process.

I am just happy to see my Homemade Spinner working.
Too Bad Gyruss configuration had to throw a monkey wrench in to it all.
