Hi everyone,
I'm having trouble configuring up my MAME setup, specifically
using the mouse wheel (z axis) for games like Tempest. My
setup includes: MAME 1.42 (built from source), X11/gnome,
2.6.35 kernel, and USB mouse w/wheel (and trackball + TT2).
I found various posts of people having a "misbehaved"
spinner, but none where it wasn't recognized.
Details: Both the mouse and trackball can move the mouse
pointer around the screen; both the mouse wheel and the TT2
spinner can scroll up/down (say browsing in Firefox). This
also works while they are both plugged in (USB). However,
when I start MAME, neither the mouse wheel nor the TT2 are
recognized for Player 1 "Dial Analog" (ie, Configure General
Inputs Menu -> player 1 -> Dial Analog). Only "Mouse X" or
"Mouse Y" are available (ie, no "MOUSE Z"). I use the
"multimouse" option when both devices are plugged in. In
a desperate attempt, I have tried to edit a game's cfg file
("input" tags) with no success regarding the z-axis.
My guess is that my build of MAME does not come with z-axis
(mouse z) support. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Dave
