Problems with Mame32Analog+ 0.83
« on: February 06, 2006, 02:10:35 am »
I can't get Mame32analog+ 0.83 to recognize the mouse and/or spinners/steering wheels under configuration when selecting tab for any game.

I install Mame32 v90, then place Mame Analog+ for Mame32 0.83 in the Mame32 subdirectory and run it. 

I have 2 steering wheels, one spinner, and 1 trackball all connected via an optipac.  All control the mouse as they should (either 1 or both axes) in Windows itself.

I do not have the mouse menu item I should have under Tab in Mame32Analog+ after editing the mame32.ini file for multiple mice and split axes.  I don

Thanks guys, I got it.

There's nothing wrong with this version of Mame32Analog+, there's just something wrong with me   :P

Performed the following and I now have mouse control:

Typed "MAME32AnalogXP.exe -cc" and Enter.

Edited the C:\mame32\mame32analogXP.ini file as such:

### Input device options ###
mouse                   1

### Analog+ options ###
multiplemice            1
switchablemice          0
switchmiceaxes          1
splitmouseaxes          1

Copied the file above to the C:\MAME32\INI folder.

Now when I start a trackball game, the Tab menu has an option called "Mouse Axes" 

What a bozo.  I was editing the mame32.ini file all along because that was the only ini file I was seeing.  I didn't know I had to go and force a mame32analogxp.ini file to be created.  I figured mame32analog+ was just using the mame32.ini file because when I ran mame32analog+ it made new entries in that file.

The case is solv - ed  (in honor of the Pink Panther opening this week)
