Hmmm, let me take a stab at this. Tempest only has one axis... it doesn't matter what analog you use, rather its a spinner, the "x" of a track ball, the "y" of a track ball... whatever. I use the trackball for games like it all the time, more specifically 2 player Warlords (one uses my spinner, the other uses the trackball). Doesn't matter if the mame gui calls tempests control the "x" or the "y", or whatever, what controls you move it will accept as that control, so forget about looking for a "z" axis setting. When you go to the configure menu for it, and choose to set the controls, what ever control you provide input to it will accept as controlling the game. Can't say I ever tried it with the mouse wheel, but I 'spose it should work since it is an analogue input (unless I'm wrong, which, according to my wife, is common).

Re: newbie: mame 1.42 + Linux + mouse wheel = no z-axis
