Invest in a good USB hub (heh)... I don't *think* that the current XInput setup in xmame allows for this at all; the XInput devices are set up to take, well, XInput devices (mice or joysticks). What you *may* be able to do is create a plethora of virtual devices under X--find a way, for example, to take /dev/input/mouse0 and map it under X to "mouse1a" for normal XY mapping and then "mouse1b" with the axes reversed, thus presenting one mouse as two devices to X (and thus to MAME). If xmame is taking the x axis of trackball1 as spinner1 and the x axis of trackball2 as spinner2, you get two spinners from one mouse. Of course, there's the dicey problem of not knowing how to swap axes for an XInput device under X; I don't see a ton of support for that, unfortunately (in terms of "Options" settings in XF86Config-4). /shrug. -->VPutz
