Dumb Question- Turning on TBs/Spinners

<< < (2/4) > >>

Tiger-Heli:
Been a while since I've used it, but in Analog +, you should have a "Mouse" or "Mouse Settings" or sth selection from the TAB menu on games that can use a trackball

Well, I go into the Tab Menu, configure input (genereal), and then there's a HUGE long list of all the control options. I scroll to Trackball X, then you hit enter and are supposed to type in what you want it to be. If it were a button I was configuring, I would type in the key on the keyboard that I want the button mapped to. But with a spinner or TB, what do I type in? There's actually 2 lines for each device, so it shows Trackball X, Trackball X, Trackball 2, Trackball 2, etc.  Same thing with the spinners.  I just don't know what to type in here. Would someone mind guiding me to get this turned on?
Thanks

Wrong menu - although it might not work for me now b/c of Win2k.  Try the following:

Open Command prompt - navigate to MAME directory -  Run MAME (or MAME32 or MAMEAnalog32) with the -cc tag.

You will find a file in the emulator directory called <emulatorname>.ini.  Edit it to change the following lines:

### Input device options ###
mouse                   1

### Analog+ options ###
multiplemice            1
switchablemice          1
switchmiceaxes          1
splitmouseaxes          1

Restart MAME play a dual trackball game.  On the main TAB menu, you should see a mouse options setting. . .

ok- did that. NOW-
in the Tab menu- it gives options for Tackball X, Tackball X, Tackball Y, Tackball Y  AND-  Tackball X 2, Tackball X 2, Tackball Y 2, Tackball Y 2.

On the player 1 set- it has  set:
Trackball X - left arrow OR J1 X Axis +
Trackball X - right arrow OR J1 X Axis -
Trackball Y - left arrow OR J1 X Axis +
Trackball Y - left arrow OR J1 X Axis +

So- this seems to be working. When it comes to the Player 2 settings, it just has

Trackball X 2 - D
Trackball X 2 -  G
Trackball Y 2 - R
Trackball Y 2 - F

So there's nothing telling it to use the trackball settings- I assume is the J2 X Axis +, J2 X Axis -, J2 Y Axis +, J2 Y Axis -.  How do I type that stuff in there? It wont let me type it in, nor can I hit enter to modify it, and spin the trackball to get it to recognize it.   If I leave these settings as is- BOTH trackballs control 1 player, while nothing moves on the other player (I'm testing with Marble Madness- so only 1 marble moves, the other sits there- both TBs move the 1 player).

So, it seems to me that if I can get it to recognize the other TB movement, and configure it to recognize it, I'm all set. Any ideas on how to do this?
Thanks soo much bud!
