Hi, It's the adapter I was told to purchase from a couple different sources. Yes the trackball is lit up. The red light on the adapter is on as well. On a side note, the usb cable from the adapter goes into a usb hub because the Tron joystick is also plugged in.

I don't. I have a mini usb keyboard with a touchpad. I'm not sure if the 12 in 1 is in there. What would it show up as?

Ok. I'm in Mame now. I didn't see it add any input device like you typed.

sorry, how do I launch that in Command prompt? What do I type?

Hi, Yes, I went in and they were both "keyboard". I changed them both to "mouse"

Hi, I built an arcade stick with a Tron joystick, spinner and trackball. The Tron joystick works. The LED trackball lights up. However, the trackball and spinner do not work. I've tried configuring in Mame, and neither is even detected. From my understanding, the trackball should at least work in Windows, but it doesn't. I have both trackball and spinner connected to a 12-1 interface board. please help. I'm so close!

Thank you so much! I find it scrolls and refreshes better now too. I suspect that is also why I've been experiencing the odd crash when scrolling too quickly.

Hi, After update 8 I believe, every time I go through my games list in Launchbox and delete games that I don't want displayed, when it refreshes it jumps all the way back to the top. So if I delete an "S" game, it jumps all the way back to "#" at the top. Then I have to scroll all the way back to where I was to continue. Launchbox never used to do this until maybe 2 updates ago. Is there any way to correct this? It's time consuming. thx

Thanks for the advice

I just tried the BAD Old Monkey theme with 10.9. Same results. I'm going to try to go back to 10.7. I've never had issues before.

I'm crashing too since the update. If I delete a game from LB, it now scrolls all the way back to the top. So if I delete a "T" game, it now scrolls all the way back to the top. Also, I notice that the game boxes in the list change resolution for a second, then LB crashes (I just get the spinning mouse wheel). I've exited, rebooted the PC and tried again. No luck.

OMG. I'm so stupid. I didn't realize the Rom folder already had the damn bios files! I checked it more thoroughly and I see that the bios files are already in there. That's why it's asking to overwrite. I'm so sorry to waste your time. Thanks for trying to help though. You guys are awesome and I love Launchbox!

They're zip files with the same name as the Rom files. But they're definitely bios files. The files themselves are much smaller than the roms.

That's how they came. I don't know who created it. Which means I can't copy to the mame folder or it'll overwrite.

Hi, How do I tell Mame where to look for the Bios files? The Bios files I have are named exactly the same as the Mame roms, so it tries to overwrite. I created a new folder called bios, but I'm not exactly sure how to tell Mame where to look. thx

Cool. Thanks

Hi guys, Does anyone know if you can use 2 controllers at the same time in Mame? For example, a joystick controller and one of those home made spinner controllers (from a mouse). I'm thinking of Tron controls, where you need a joystick, fire button, and spinner. Since that's not all on one controller, can it be set up in Mame? thx

Thanks guys. This solves my problem. I must have been in the wrong section when I was programming. I set the joystick for left and right but that was the only change I made from yours. Do either of you happen to know if you can set a different controller to work on certain games? Like a Gamesir for one game and the Mayflash for another?

Hi, im having this weird issue. I have the Mayflash F300 elite controller. When I launch Asteroids Deluxe in Launchbox (Mame emu), the joystick works, fire and thrust buttons work, but for the life of me, I can’t get the “shields” to work with any button! I tried remapping buttons, but it seems to keep fire and thrust as the same buttons regardless of where I map them, and it still refuses to give me “shields”. I thought it was easy to just assign buttons where I wanted them? Any help please?

Thanks!

No. I purchased a modded wii, and the system has arcade games and turbo graphics games on it and they are .wad files. I was wondering if theyd play in Launchbox using an emulator.

Awesome. I'll try that. Thx

Does anyone know if .wad files are playable in Launchbox and how (emulator?) Thx

Sorry guys. Turns out I had to update the drivers for my Intel GPU. Thanks though

Hi guys, Redream keeps crashing for me. I click on a cdi game, it opens to a black screen. I try Redream outside of Launchbox, and the second I click on anything within the Redream menu, the program crashes. It loads on one PC (older) but not my newer pc that I set up for gaming. Any thoughts?
