MAME or GAMEEX setting?

[dj10bear]

hello

the problem i am having is that in games like tron or tempest where there was a spinner used. i have a trackball hooked up to my mouse. the trackball moves the mouse in gameex fine. but when i launch tron, i cant move the guys arm around with the trackball.

now i think it might have something to do with the mame controls?

i am trying to set "Input (This game)" in my mame (command line version 0.125)

i want the "dial dec" and "dial inc" to use mouse x.

how do i assign MOUSE X? i cant figure out what keys on the keyboard do this. and since you are in the input mode, i dont think the mouse (trackball) works.

or do i hav to do something in game ex?

thanks alot! paul L

i'm not an expert on this but to set up my joystick axis in a certain game iactually have to move the joystick in the direction to assign it. did you try using the mouse at the Input (this game) dialog?

You are using trackball which is an analog control. You are trying to set the mouse movement (analog) to a dial inc and dial dec (digital). The problem is that you should be using the first line which is analog. Basically, if you can't get it to work, make sure you are telling MAME to look for the mouse by using the -mouse command line argument or editing the MAME.ini file and setting mouse to 1 (from 0). After you do that, you should have no problem setting up your trackball as a spinner substitute.
