mame mouse support, how do I flip one axis for just certain games?
« on: April 08, 2006, 04:30:57 am »
I read a post where somebody suggested using a mouse for StarWars and just flipping the y-axis so it played basically like Missile command.  I'm running MAME for win32 version .55 and can't figure out how to do this.

Thanks

Nobody can remember back that far.   :D  MAME is at 105 now.

I don't think you could separate axes back then.

In 105, it is easy to do in the analog menu or with a ctrlr file.

Gotcha'.  That's what I wanted to know.  Just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking something.

Thanks, Derrick.

I'm fairly sure that as far back as I can remember, if you press 'tab' and go into 'analog controls' there are options for reversing x and y axis.

Oops crap, brain fart.   ;D

You are right.  Old versions did not support splitable axes.  But they allowed you to invert the axis, like he was asking.

[TAB] menu - Analog Controls - Track Y Reverse = On

I had tried that, but it didn't work for my trackball.   It did work for my 49-way.... I think... hell, I can't remember now if I tried that or not, but it didn't work for my trackball.

I'll go check it out again, but there weren't any settings for "track".  I think it said "joystick axis reverse" or something like that.   But I'll poke around and see what .55 has to offer me in that menu
