@@BytesNBits By the way, have you done or will you do any game-specific input device videos? There are few games that back in the day utilized more than one joystick or sometimes a steering wheel with a gas pedal, etc. Some have given me fits recently including Crazy Climber, Battle Zone, and Hang-on. Thanks again!

Just like how you explained it to me last week. 😄👍 The mouse makes a huge difference. I'm thinking of going one step further and buying a trackball mouse. One that has the trackball in the middle, so it can controlled with the fingers. It might be a decent substitute for the spinner/dial controller too. 😄

That sounds like a good option. You might find it's not quite as responsive for the light gun games though. If you try it out please let me know how you get on. I was actually looking at them as well this week. There are also arcade trackball modules on eBay for about half the price. No mouse buttons but probably a better gaming trackball.

Thanks, I was bashing my head trying to figure this out. The fact that I can't enable mouse input from inside of the game seems stupid to me, but o well. It's not like I have to update my controls often.

If it emulates a USB mouse it should just work. If you've got the gun and a mouse plugged in you'll need to make sure Mame is looking at the right one. Try it first with just the gun plugged in to confirm it's working. Then try to sort out having both plugged in together. I think you can select this in Mame.

Good video. Hoping you can help me with something,. I set up my racing wheel for Super Sprint but when I turn the wheel the car keeps turning/rotating until I re-center the wheel rather than maintaining the curve angle based on how far I turn. Is this because I entered inputs for Inc & Dec? If so how can I remove those inputs? I thought delete would work but it doesn't.
@BytesNBits
Ай бұрын
There may be a couple of problems. Yes the Inc and Dec will do as you say. I think you need to select the input mapping but press escape to clear it. It is some key combination to clear it. But some racing wheel games use a spinner for the input rather than an actual analogue input. More like a mouse where you continually slide one way to keep the steering wheel moving in that direction. I'm pretty sure super sprint is one of these.

do you know of a way to make mame react to a laptop trackpad as if it were a mouse? I am trying to play world class bowling on my laptop using the trackpad as the trackball but i have not been able to make it work. I was able to make it work with a mouse but I guess a trackpad is not considered a mouse to the program... any help appreciated. this video is the closest i found to a solution but im looking to play the game when i dont have a mouse to use (on flights/busses/in class etc)
@BytesNBits
12 күн бұрын
I guess it will be something to do with the drivers for the track pad. I would have expected it to appear as a mouse to make but I guess not. The other option is to buy a trackball mouse. Here the mouse stays still and you rotate a ball on top of the mouse with your fingers. Hope you get a working solution.

Hi. I'm not sure. You can try mapping the mouse to both gun controls, but I guess it will just make them move in sync around the screen rather than at the same location. If you've got a graphics tablet this might work but I've not tries it. Maybe map the mouse and move to one of the screen corners. this might put the two cursors in the same place. Only guessing here though!!
