dual track balls for marble madness?

(1/4) > >>

krick:
Has anybody built a control panel with 2 track balls for marble madness?

If so, what kind of interface do you use?

The mouse hack won't work unless you can use a USB mouse (only one PS/2 mouse port).

You can use the OptiPac, USB mouse hacks, or one of Oscar's preconfigured mouse hacks.

http://jstookey.com/arcade/720/720-arcadejoy.php - I've got some information here about how I did a mouse hack, and there are also a few links to the two mouse hack pages that walked me through the process.

Windows 9x and XP have support for multiple trackballs using a special version of Mame called Mame: Analog+.   Get it here:

XMame has support for multiple mice under Linux.
AdvanceMame has support for multiple trackballs under Linux.

I think that the DOS Mame can handle 2 trackballs, but it they have to be serial mice.

Marble Madness is such a great game.  I've been playing it relentlessly.  I got a friend to come by regularly - I'm trying to get him to be as good as me so we can have some intense vs. action.

1 player mode is crazy enough as it is.  With 2 players, it's a whole new game.  What fun!

I eventually plan on adding 2 more spinners to my cab (for a total of 4) so my friends and I can play 4-player Warlords...... great game.  

I am going to use Analog+ for WinXP to get them all working.

Heh....I left out the link to the Optipac and the description of what you'd be looking for at Oscar Controls.  I've been getting very little sleep lately between school and work  :P
