Raging Dragon work with AnalogMame??

[Dr. Jay]

Howard (or anyone else who might know):
 I'm wanting to use AnalogMame so I can have multiple mouse support through Raging Dragon.  When I run AnalogMame by itself I have no problem with this, but when I edit the dragon.ini to use AnalogMame, the game loads fine, but the mice are completely unresponsive.  (Both mice)  Any ideas??  

FYI, it does the same thing through EmuWizard, and I know I set up that part of the .ini correctly, because I erased the other mame.exe's and AnalogMame is the only one left in that directory.  

Why multiple mice?  See my reply under your "killer instinct in Mame?" post...        Dr. J

is analoge mame dos or win based and does it have a mame32 gui or is it command prompt based?  I'm not too familair with it, but if you tell me this much then hopefully i can figure it out.

I am interested in this too. But, can analogmame run by itself, if your using the Win binary one? I have been playing with this a bit..couldnt you just change the name of analogmame to mame for the .exe? I am kinda new, so forgive me if i sound like i am clueless.

Hey,
 It's weird, because the download page has two versions, both of which bring up a mame32 gui.  Raging dragon doesn't give me any trouble when I use regular Mame32 though.  Hopefully you'll be able to learn more about it here: http://www.urebelscum.speedhost.com/
Thanks, -Dr. J

What do you mean mame32 gui?
it's the normal win32 binary recompiled with directx 8 and taking advantage of dx8's control inteface essentially.

[Howard_Casto]

see that's what i thought.... you can run mame32 in rd but it's not reccomended...  It's best to stick to a regualr old win compile of mame, any version of  a wincompile will work with rd but mame32 variants are, well they're wierd.

[Dr. Jay]

Sometime in the near future, might you give it a shot to get multiple mice in, or are we out of luck??

Mame:Analog+ has two versions that do multiple mice: a Mame windows and a Mame32.  If you are downloading the mame32 version on both links, that's my fault;  I'll check and make sure the linked files are correct.  --EDIT--   The MAMEv58 links on the download page are correct: one is to the mame32:Analog+ version, the other is to the windows version.

I haven't tried Howard's Dragon FE, but the windows version of mame:Analog+ should work with it.  Except that Analog+'s multiple mouse options are set with added options in the mame.ini file.  I don't know how RD would handle this.  Maybe I'll check out Raging Dragon and see.

[Dr. Jay]

Thanks for checking it out.  I tried the links again, and I've got the windows version now.  I must have been acting silly and downloaded the same link twice    
 Anyway, the same problem is still there.  The game will load, but there no mouse support at all.  The in-mame gui doesn't even show the mouseaxes option.  
 Also, It does make Raging Dragon act a little weird after exiting the game.  ARG!  I like multiple mice...

[Brian]

I hope to learn about this too... I really like RD, as well as ArcadeFX...but I want mutliple mice controls. How can you play warlords with joysticks? Ick!

I'll look at it tonight.  Not that I need an excuse to play mame...

I am awaiting to find out if this works as well. Also wondering if anyone knows if it will work with Emulaxian or ArcadeFX. Gotta have two trackballs for Rampart!
