Need help - Trackball causes machine slowdown (sound etc)
hiperco:
Just got a 3" Happ trackball, PS/2 version.
Running Advancemame 0.92 under DOS.
I'm having a problem where the background music slows down whenever I spin the trackball (even on the attract screens etc) in Shuffleshot and GTG 2K. I've tried MOUSE.EXE and CTMOUSE.EXE as drivers, no difference. (I previously had a serial trackball that didn't exhibit this problem.)
Any ideas?

Flinkly:
what is your system information?
hiperco:
Sempron 2600+ on a cheap-o motherboard (I wonder if the motherboard is the problem?), 256MB RAM, Ensoniq Audio PCI sound card
hiperco:
I've been battling this problem for days, still no joy. I tried a different sound card, same result. The weird thing is that my serial trackball doesn't have this issue at all (but its not as nice as my new silky Happ)
I tried playing shuffleshot in Windows 98 with Mame32, it played terrible (much worse than Advmame/DOS).
Could it be that my system is just too slow? (I have a Sempron 2500+, btw).
daveg2000 - what are your system specs? And what version of Mame?
