marcdaddy Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Guys im running Hyperspin 1.0 With a XArcade Tankstick. I can play games in mame with the trackball Outside of hyperspin just fine with the trackball ( Also if i use Maximus Arcade as a FE it works fine with that but who wants that crap ) Inside Hyperspin it will move the wheel to select emulators and games but when i fire up a game it doesnt respond. I have tried in the Mame INI enabling multi mouse support just as a thought but this is the only mouse on the system. In the Device Manager it shows up as 1 device it says HID Compliant mouse. Within Hyperspin im playing a game e.g. Crystal Castles i hit TAB and try to map the trackball but what the trackball does is actually move the cursor around to highlight other options and does not respond to the acyual setting up of the controls. Did i miss something in the Hyperspin setup somewhere since its only conflicting in there? I have enabled trackball support in the options. Thanks guys im just pulling my hair out over this
dfwArcade Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Howdy, you need to have 'xarcade' set in the ctrl entry in your Mame ini file. Just add xarcade to the right of the ctrl line in the CORE INPUT OPTIONS & resave the file using notepad. Your Mame should have the latest ctrl file for xarcade, if not go the their website and download it. Add it to the ctrl folder in mame but if it worked outside of HS you should be good to go. I use to map the keys using the Tab function in mame until I learned the setup. I'm using the Tankstick and I no longer have to map keys for Mame or any of the emulators that allow me to map keys in the Config settings for each system. Here is an example, I'm not at home but this is what it looks like. The mouse should be set at 1: # CORE INPUT OPTIONS # coin_lockout 1 ctrlr xarcade mouse 1 joystick 1 lightgun 0 multikeyboard 0 multimouse 0 steadykey 0 offscreen_reload 0 joystick_map auto joystick_deadzone 0.3 joystick_saturation 0.85 natural 0[/font] Give it a try, if you're still stuck I can send my ini settings from home later in the week. Good luck!
marcdaddy Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 Thanks, Ill double check MAME but i have added the Xarcade profile in Mame before, ill triple check everything it just sux that it only acts up in Hyperspin.

Good luck! Well mine looks exactly like yours, With the latest File from X-Gaming and the trackball still wont work inside of Myperspin ( It works fine outside of Hyperspin while running Mame ) So hitting the Tab key while inside of Hyperspin the Trackball still wont register in there. So the problem is somewhere inside of hyperspin and im stumped.
sparkywallnut Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Do you have trackball checked in Hyper HQ? Nevermind, I don't think its going to make a difference. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
marcdaddy Posted March 7, 2012 Author Posted March 7, 2012 Ya i get the same results with it On or Off? Just stumped, im not running another mouse either. Its a confliction once hyperspin is running since the trackball works outside in mame. What can it be? Something in the Script maybe?
xiddiox Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 I am having the same problem with my trackball (not an xarcade) it works as the mouse and in wheel but not in any games

KyoKusagani1999 Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Ya i get the same results with it On or Off? Just stumped, im not running another mouse either. Its a confliction once hyperspin is running since the trackball works outside in mame. What can it be? Something in the Script maybe? Well, What MAME Version Are You Using? The Older MAME versions always had mouse support enabled, but if You're using one of the newer versions (Built In GUI) you're going to have to generate an INI file and enable mouse support in the games. Run this in the command line MAME... mame.exe -cc And then go into that file. When You see... mouse = 0 change it to mouse = 1 You just enabled mouse support in MAME. Thus, trackball should be working now.
dfwArcade Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 The Mame generated ini file makes perfect sense. I'd say that may be the last of it. 2 more things to be certain of: 1) Make sure the switch on the back of the tankstick box is all the way to the right in postion 1 (while facing your cab). You can read about the switch settings on the Xarcade website. Make sure it's 'loaded' as position 1, something like pressing back program button twice and seeing the LED go on and off once. 2) 'Numlock' needs to be on. Because it works outside HS these 2 options may not be necessary but if it's doesn't then you know what to do next. I'll check back in over the weekend to see if your good. Good luck!
marcdaddy Posted March 10, 2012 Author Posted March 10, 2012 Thanks im gonna head Downstairs after the little guy heads to bed and check those things out and report back!
marcdaddy Posted March 10, 2012 Author Posted March 10, 2012 Wow nothing has worked so far, Made sure Numlock was on and verified the posistion of the switch. So i put Maximus arcade Front End on the machine to check it out and when i run Mame from there the Trackball works, When i run Mame on its own from windows the Trackball works, When i run it in Hyperspin the trackball lets me selscts games but once the game starts the trackball no longer works. Even hitting tab inside of mame in Hyperspin the the trackball doesnt register. Escape out back to the game menu and it works. Wow gotta be close to figuring this out.
dfwArcade Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Hmmmm... was hoping we had all the options covered. If it works in HS as a menu contoller then someone smarter than me must know what's up? I must of fired up Centipede a dozen times until finally I got it working. Love Capcom Bowling. Try a few of the classic trackball games just to be certain it's not working correctly. Kids are vaca this week from school so I'll hope to mess around in the Mancave this week. Let me do some more research and I'll get back to you. You couldn't be any closer so I have faith we'll get it going!!
marcdaddy Posted March 13, 2012 Author Posted March 13, 2012 Ya i must admit there are a few games id like it to play in Hyperspin with the trackball that wont work, Crystal Castles, Shuzz, Bowling, Centipede and Millipede just to name a few. Im about as stumped as i ever was hehe. One more thing im running Windows 7 on this machine. I did dissconnect the tankstick and try it on a windows XP setup with Hyperspin installed and it did the same thing GRRRR!
dfwArcade Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Here's my cab's Mame.ini file with my working Tankstick (I run mame64). Make sure the Xarcade (ctrlr line) doesn't have any uneeded spaces - hard to see here but you get the idea. The X of Xarcade should be under the coin_lockout 1 entry above the ctrlr entry: ----------------------- # # CORE CONFIGURATION OPTIONS # readconfig 1 writeconfig 0 # # CORE SEARCH PATH OPTIONS # rompath roms hashpath hash samplepath samples artpath artwork ctrlrpath ctrlr inipath .;ini fontpath . cheatpath cheat crosshairpath crosshair # # CORE OUTPUT DIRECTORY OPTIONS # cfg_directory cfg nvram_directory nvram memcard_directory memcard input_directory inp state_directory sta snapshot_directory snap diff_directory diff comment_directory comments # # CORE STATE/PLAYBACK OPTIONS # state autosave 0 playback record mngwrite aviwrite wavwrite snapname %g/%i snapsize auto snapview internal burnin 0 # # CORE PERFORMANCE OPTIONS # autoframeskip 0 frameskip 0 seconds_to_run 0 throttle 1 sleep 1 speed 1.0 refreshspeed 0 # # CORE ROTATION OPTIONS # rotate 1 ror 0 rol 0 autoror 0 autorol 0 flipx 0 flipy 0 # # CORE ARTWORK OPTIONS # artwork_crop 0 use_backdrops 1 use_overlays 1 use_bezels 1 use_cpanels 1 use_marquees 1 # # CORE SCREEN OPTIONS # brightness 1.0 contrast 1.0 gamma 1.0 pause_brightness 0.65 effect none # # CORE VECTOR OPTIONS # antialias 1 beam 1.0 flicker 0 # # CORE SOUND OPTIONS # sound 1 samplerate 48000 samples 1 volume 0 # # CORE INPUT OPTIONS # coin_lockout 1 ctrlr xarcade mouse 0 joystick 1 lightgun 0 multikeyboard 0 multimouse 0 steadykey 0 offscreen_reload 0 joystick_map auto joystick_deadzone 0.3 joystick_saturation 0.85 natural 0 joystick_contradictory 0 coin_impulse 0 # # CORE INPUT AUTOMATIC ENABLE OPTIONS # paddle_device keyboard adstick_device keyboard pedal_device keyboard dial_device keyboard trackball_device keyboard lightgun_device keyboard positional_device keyboard mouse_device mouse # # CORE DEBUGGING OPTIONS # log 0 verbose 0 update_in_pause 0 debug 0 debugscript debug_internal 0 # # CORE MISC OPTIONS # bios cheat 0 skip_gameinfo 0 uifont default ramsize confirm_quit 0 # # WINDOWS DEBUGGING OPTIONS # oslog 0 watchdog 0 debugger_font "Lucida Console" debugger_font_size 9 # # WINDOWS PERFORMANCE OPTIONS # priority 0 multithreading 0 numprocessors auto profile 0 bench 0 # # WINDOWS VIDEO OPTIONS # video d3d numscreens 1 window 0 maximize 1 keepaspect 1 prescale 1 waitvsync 0 syncrefresh 0 menu 0 # # DIRECTDRAW-SPECIFIC OPTIONS # hwstretch 1 # # DIRECT3D-SPECIFIC OPTIONS # d3dversion 9 filter 1 # # DIRECT3D POST-PROCESSING OPTIONS # hlsl_enable 0 hlslpath hlsl hlsl_ini_read 0 hlsl_ini_write 0 hlslini %g hlsl_prescale_x 0 hlsl_prescale_y 0 hlsl_preset -1 hlsl_write hlsl_snap_width 2048 hlsl_snap_height 1536 shadow_mask_alpha 0.0 shadow_mask_texture aperture.png shadow_mask_x_count 320 shadow_mask_y_count 240 shadow_mask_usize 0.09375 shadow_mask_vsize 0.109375 curvature 0.0 pincushion 0.0 scanline_alpha 0.0 scanline_size 1.0 scanline_height 0.7 scanline_bright_scale 1.0 scanline_bright_offset 0.0 scanline_jitter 0.0 defocus 0.0,0.0 converge_x 0.0,0.0,0.0 converge_y 0.0,0.0,0.0 radial_converge_x 0.0,0.0,0.0 radial_converge_y 0.0,0.0,0.0 red_ratio 1.0,0.0,0.0 grn_ratio 0.0,1.0,0.0 blu_ratio 0.0,0.0,1.0 saturation 1.0 offset 0.0,0.0,0.0 scale 1.0,1.0,1.0 power 1.0,1.0,1.0 floor 0.0,0.0,0.0 phosphor_life 0.0,0.0,0.0 yiq_enable 0 yiq_cc 3.59754545 yiq_a 0.5 yiq_b 0.5 yiq_o 0.0 yiq_p 1.0 yiq_n 1.0 yiq_y 6.0 yiq_i 1.2 yiq_q 0.6 yiq_scan_time 52.6 yiq_phase_count 2 # # PER-WINDOW VIDEO OPTIONS # screen auto aspect auto resolution auto view auto screen0 auto aspect0 auto resolution0 auto view0 auto screen1 auto aspect1 auto resolution1 auto view1 auto screen2 auto aspect2 auto resolution2 auto view2 auto screen3 auto aspect3 auto resolution3 auto view3 auto # # FULL SCREEN OPTIONS # triplebuffer 1 switchres 0 full_screen_brightness 1.0 full_screen_contrast 1.0 full_screen_gamma 1.0 # # WINDOWS SOUND OPTIONS # audio_latency 2 # # INPUT DEVICE OPTIONS # hide_cursor 1 dual_lightgun 0

eezetee Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 I can get it to work within MAME directly with the Core Input Options as mouse. Works a treat. However, when I launch Golden Tee via Hyperspin, doesn't work. Still looking around for a solution
