Drybonz Posted January 29, 2016 Author Posted January 29, 2016 Does anyone have good analog stick settings for trackball games in MAME that they would like to share? Thanks. Quote
Drybonz Posted January 30, 2016 Author Posted January 30, 2016 I guess this wasn't a very good question... what I'm trying to do is play some of the old trackball games... Tempest specifically (which was a spinner actually, I suppose) and some other ones. I used to have it set up properly years ago as far as I can remember, but I'm using an xbox controller for most emulated games now, and the analog stick makes you jump all over the place in Tempest and some of the trackball games and even driving games. So, really I was just wondering what other people use for those games. I tried the mouse and it didn't really give me that retro-authentic feeling. :) Quote
DOS76 Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 I have a Logitech M570 trackball it is the ultimate in laziness now I only have to move one finger instead of whole hand. I'm not sure how it works with MAME trackball games I should test it. As for games that require spinners I don't play them because I don't have the proper controller would like to have one so I can play Ka-Boom for Atari 2600 I used to love that game as a kid. Quote
Drybonz Posted January 30, 2016 Author Posted January 30, 2016 I read somewhere that you can convert the old Jaguar system driving controllers into a spinner for the PC but I'm sure that's more electronic fidgeting than I want to get into. :) Quote
DOS76 Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 I have a Logitech G27 Racing Wheel I wonder if that could be setup as a spinner. Quote
Drybonz Posted January 30, 2016 Author Posted January 30, 2016 I just looked that up... would probably be an awkward spinner, but looks like a really nice racing game wheel. Quote
DOS76 Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 It is one of the highest quality controllers I've ever seen. It was expensive so I'm glad that it was well made but it exceeded my expectations. I still need to build something to mount it on it really only used a few times I would like to change that but need to make room in order to use it properly. Quote
Drybonz Posted January 30, 2016 Author Posted January 30, 2016 I tried to play some San Francisco Rush in MAME earlier and the controls were really messed up using my xbox controller. I will have to spend some time trying to figure out good control schemes for these games. Quote
