Hi
Thanks to Peter's patch (<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) and some
newer files form xmame 106, I have xmame 0.90 up and running.
But I have really no clue how to set all the variables to fit the
trackball and spinner input as native as possible with the
current hardware.
Just a question, is anybody out here able to _play_ (not
run) "shufshot" with his trackball or mouse?
To make it clear, here a quote form mameinfo:
***** --> *****
May seem impossible to shoot a decent shot. Either the puck stops
right after the "1" or the shot is way too hard and the puck
flies off the board, making the game unplayable. Not a bug, but
a requirement of certain drivers, which may or may not be
normal(?). For the longest time I was using default Windows
mouse drivers, and was clearly experiencing this "bug". I
installed the latest M$ intellimouse drivers, and now the
controls work perfectly. So I'd say, at least in my experience,
that new intellimouse drivers are a "requirement". Note that I
have received reports from others who got the controls working
correctly with other drivers. Also note, this "issue" pertains
to all trackball games, and that it's always best to set the
mouse movement speed to the dead center position in Windows as
well as turning off the any acceleration options and then adjust
the analog sensitivity via the in-game menu how you like. Also,
make sure any frameskipping is turned off. Smitdogg /xtremediver

I tried xset, the Resolution/SampleRate (xorg.conf),
Sensitivity, ... nothing helped. :-(
