Howard, you're right about what you said and when I go back and read my initial post I must apologize - it was pretty vague. So to your points:
1. That's why I'm interested in playing it (though I realize I've got to be in the vast minority).
2. I do know how to change input settings in MAME, but I admit my post didn't make that clear.
3. The game will run, but what I'm having problems with is moving the paddles on the screen. I can't get them to move at all. The spinner on my Slikstik works fine for other paddle games such as Arkanoid, Avalanche, Super Breakout, and Circus. I also use it as a steering wheel for driving games like Pole Position, Out Run, and Hang On. But with this game I start it up, put in a couple of (virtual) quarters, select a game, start it up, and it runs, the "ball" keeps getting served over and over, but I can't get any of the paddles for either player to move no matter which buttons I hit or by using the spinner or the trackball.
Sorry for the very vague first post! And, thanks for the reply!
