Trackball/Spinner Big Box

Recommended Posts

Hello All - I have converted a 12-1 Arcade 1up control deck to USB for use with Mame -which is working great with Glen's replacement spinner and USB interface card.  I would like to control big box with them.  Is this possible?  I enabled mouse support and I can move the mouse button cursor with them, but not what I was hoping for.

What were you hoping for ?

Trackball is supported since it is just a mouse and you need buttons mapped to "click" with. Spinner support is something that gets brought up once in a blue moon and has been on the preliminary polls but never gets enough interest to get to the main feature request polls.

Aww man, too bad this isn't supported yet.  I'm migrating from GameEx which does support spinner/trackball scrolling and it is so useful.  You can really rip past games and quickly hone in on the one you want with precision.  That will probably be the feature I miss the most.

I have a modified 12-in-1 cabinet and can navigate Bigbox with my trackball, spinner, or joysticks. Go to options, mouse, and enable it. This should allow all mouse devices to navigate the menu. I use buttons on the control panel for selection. The GRS products are all USB mouse connections. Beyond this, you can play with the mapping to achieve your desired navigational greatness.
