Mouse hack by switching wires in USB plug

<< < (2/2)

unclet:
I found a way to attach the flywheel to the PCB of the Y-axis afterall ... so this post is no longer valid for me anymore ... however, I will explain what I was trying to do more clearly ... I hope....

I currently have two USB mouse hacks (via Twisty Grip) on my control panel and they are both hacked to the X-axis.

Yeah, I figured that out AFTER I replied and then read your other post which I also replied to.

BTW, I guess it's two late now, but couldn't you have used Analog Plus and mapped Player 1 to Mouse 1 X-axis and Player 2 to Mouse 2 X-axis?

Now I'm confused.  Flywheel one goes thru the mouse 1 X-axis.  Does Flywheel 2 go through the Mouse 1 or Mouse 2 Y-axis?

I ended up just having two basic Twisty Grip USB mouse hacks.  One mouse has it's flywheel going through the X-axis optics and the other mouse has it's flywheel going through the Y-axis.  Simple.

I did not perform any soldering or wiring to get this working.

I believe I could not use Analog Plus since it did not have the game Pong included ..... however, it was a long time ago which I decided using Analog Plus was not what I needed .... I do not truely remember why.   I really have been stalling doing this for a very long time ..... 

Anyway, in order to play Pong, I needed NoNameMame so I went from there.

Okay, I got it!!!

Okay, most versions of NoName include the analog Plus changes, so I could be referring to either one.
