I'm trying to do some messing around with MAME and I'm needing to run a very old version (MAME .135, 32 bit). But I imagine my question is still the same for the current version.
I need to run in DOS prompt command line mode. My problem is, for Atari trac-ball games, like Missile Command and Centipede and Millipede (and I'm guessing any other game that uses a trac-ball), I have to use the keyboard arrows to move the cursor around.
What paramater do I set to enable the mouse when running through the DOS command line mode? If I used MAMEUI32, it's easy to map keyboard functions, but I don't know how to do it from DOS.
My other question, and I think I know the answer to this ("you can't do it"), without recompiling MAME or MAMEUI32, is there a way to get the GUI to recognize a new game that isn't in MAME (.135). Let's assume you've recompiled MAME and added the proper driver (it works on command line mode). I'd like the GUI to recognize the game too, so I could play it through the GUI.
Thanks,
