NoNameMameXP WORKING!!!!!: Re: Figured out the mouse hack, but still need help

(1/7) > >>

unclet:
Ok, it took me a while, but I finally converted one of my USB mouse hacks to be hacked to the Y-Axis.   As a result, I now have two USB spinner mouse hacks (via Twisty Grip) ... one mouse is hacked to the X-axis and the other one is hacked to the Y-axis.

My problem now is that I still can not play Pong with my wife (her favorite game .... yeah I know  ::)).  I am running NoNameMame32 v0.81 on WinXP.

I thought Mame supported two mouse games as long as each mouse was hacked to different axis.  I can not figure out how to play so please help  me figure out what I need to do.

The option "-switchaxis" was mentioned by Urebelscum but I can not figure out what this means.

Okay - I don't use MAME32, so this is just hints.

Get to a Command prompt.

CD (change directory) to the NoNameMame32 folder.

Type "NoNameMame32 -cc" (without quotes) and press Enter.

Navigate (Windows Explorer) to NoNameMAME folder and open (Wordpad) NoName.ini (or something).

Set or change these options:

### Analog+ options ###
singlemouse             0
switchablemice         1
switchmiceaxes        1
splitmouseaxes        1
resetmouseaxes      0
lightgun2a              0
lightgun2b              0

Now start Pong in MAME (or IKARI) Press TAB and you should see a "MOUSE" or something entry that will allow you to set the axes.

If it works for IKARI but not PONG, it's possible that the coding the u_rebel changed for MAME wasn't applied when TGOB added Pong back in.

I had to work today .... but right before I left I saw your repsonse to this post, so I quickly wanted to try out your recommendations.

-cc is "Create Config", basically it makes in .ini file.  (If you already have a .ini file, you might have to delete the old one first to get the new options).  If you still don't have the options either your version of NoNAME doesn't have the analog plus stuff (they weren't always in sync), or it works differently in the 32 version.  The options I mentioned work for the winders command line version.  (But I have a copy of NoName32 installed with a noname32.ini file that has those option.


--- Quote ---Also, please explain what the following options actually mean:
1) switchablemice
2) switchmiceaxes
3) splitmouseaxes
4) resetmouseaxes

http://www.urebelscum.speedhost.com/feature.html#options has the definitions.  I'd have to play around with them to figure out which ones you really need.

--- Quote ---PS:  Will I be able to have Mame treat my X-axis mouse hack as a Y-axis mouse input and have my Y-axis mouse hack treated as a X-axis mouse input to Mame?  This is required, since for some games the spinners are located on the wrong side of the control panel (ie: X-axis hack is on the right and Y-axis hack is on the left, however, some games need these reversed, other do not).   

--- End quote ---
As I said in the other thread, you should be able to go into the TAB menu, select MOUSE and assign Player 1 to Mouse 1 Y-Axis (or Mouse 2 X-Axis) and Player 2 to Mouse 1 X-axis, which unfortunately means you probably did a lot of unnecessary work.

If I delete my INI file then I guess I will need to remap all my buttons again .... no biggie, just wondering?
