How to get crosshair working in current Mame
#306223 - 03/25/13 04:32 AM


Hi all,
I'm trying to play Carnevil using current Mame. I installed fresh new directory and everything. I cannot get the crosshair to show up for aiming. It seems to be stuck in the upper left hand corner and won't move. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Sounds like it has to be calibrated inside the test menu. Press F2 to bring up the arcade operators menu and see if you can find something that says calibration mode. Once inside either shoot or click to calibrate then exit when done to save it. The cursor should move now. Also you have to equal mames cursor with carnevils cursor if it has one so they shoot in sync.



I’m convinced Mario is a hobo.
He wakes up everyday in the same clothes, runs around in sewers, and collects coins for a living.
At the end of the day, he uses the coins to buy mushrooms

Tried that. It's impossible. It used to work fine on a previous mame

If you're using MAMEUI or another frontend, go to 'controllers' and enable mouse input. If using mame itself add "-mouse".
That should do it.



Pessimist: Oh, this can't get any worse!
Optimist: Yes, it can!

So you're not telling the truth. Current MAME is 0.148u2 and crosshairs works perfectly in 32/64 bit builds of MAMEUIFX. There was a bug in the 64-bit version of 0.148 FX that I fixed at least one month ago.
