X-Arcade Tankstick will not work with GameEx Arcade menus

[Paul]

I'm having issue trying to get my trackball or spinner control to work in the GameEx menus

You are going to have to give us more than that in order for us to be of help.

First, we will need for you to attach copies of your gameex.ini and log.txt files in reply to this thread to be reviewed. 

Second, what kind of trackball and spinner do you have and how is it integrated in your setup?

What emulator is this occurring and do they work outside of GameEx? 

[Paul]

No problem Draco... I will post it soon when i get a little time this afternoon or tomorrow. Sorry bout' that, I'm totally new to this

Ok, I got a quick second to put this on. I have an X-Arcade Tankstick (trackball) and a TurboTwist 2 Spinner, along with a separate wireless mouse and USB keyboard running so there's 3 total mice inputs. I believe at this time the wireless mouse is (Mouse 1), the TurboTwist is (Mouse 2), and the trackball is (Mouse 3). They all work fine outside of GameEx. The only Emulator I'm using right now is Mame32 0.109. I've also attached the files requested for your review. Thanks for any advice you guys can give. :-)

Not sure if this is still relevant or not but have you seen and tried the steps here?

[Paul]

Thank you. I tried this and NO GO. I will continue to troubleshoot with an install of the regular GameEx. So i installed regular version and on Input Settings there is a Trackball Support which i clicked yes and violla! now it's working great. I really like the layout of the Arcade Version, is there anyway to get that setting in that version? otherwise i will stay with the regular version. Thanks for all you support.

Problem solved......kinda

Some features just aren't present in the current release of GameEx Arcade Edition, but it's new, so that doesn't mean support isn't planned.

You may want to post this over in the Feature & Enhancements Request thread.

I do think that this may be a bug. I am able to confirm that my X-Arcade Tankstick works fine in legacy GameEx, but is not responsive (trackball, buttons, sticks) within the GameEx Arcade menus. Once I launch a game in MAME however, all works fine ingame.

I did notice some input lag even with a standard USB gamepad which isn't present in GameEX

 

Would also be nice with Arcade edition, if a person wasn't into the wheel thing to have option that allows just regular listing.

We have a Features & Enhancements Request thread for that!

@Paul please download and install the latest version of GameEx Arcade and report back whether or not this new version resolves your issue. Thanks! 

I will test again later this evening.

I have tested and I am now able to navigate the menus in GameEx Arcade using my Tankstick.

The input lag I was experiencing is completely gone now with the latest release. Everything is running smooth like butter here
