Trackball column in Mame32
« on: September 25, 2005, 03:06:15 pm »
I'm running an older version of Mame32 -- 0.80 -- and it classifies "Boot Hill" as being run with, or having a trackball. Does anyone with a newer version of Mame32 have this same thing? The control panel does not have a trackball.

EDIT: Crimeny! Just checked at "Omega Race", "Sinistar", "Tempest", and "Tron" do as well. Maybe the trackball column includes anything that's not an actual joystick...  Hmmmm

Depending on the version it will classify ANYTHING with an analog control as trackball. That field should just be renamed "analog" because that is what it is really telling you.
