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
