_versions?_

Post by negative1 »

does anyone know
which versions some of tips and tricks work with?

they just mention a number, and
don't say whether they're dos
or windows/win32 versions..

(and i don't want to download all
of the mame versions unless i
really have to)

i really would like to see these ones:

bombjack
commando
digdugat
digdugnm
joust
kangaroo
marble madness tricks..i have the right version,
still can't get them to work...which revision of
marble madness is it?

mspacman

With most of them, it probably doesn't really matter. Certainly the older versions are more likely to be DOS though. Maybe. :)

My marble tricks are DOS 35b2, you need the older romset, for example here:
http://www.bodenstaendig.de/marble/bin/marble.zip

All of them are made using trackball.

I just emailed you something helpful for booted-DOS use. Can not really help with windows use, cause windows mouse sensitivity settings/drivers affect to mame sensitivity also...So in winmame or dospromt the "right" sensitivity is different for different machines.

I use CH products trackball pro, which is VERY nice. Dunno if it's still in production, try ch-website chproducts.com, I also just tried google, and found http://www.safecomputing.com/trackballs.html

...or maybe you should try this :roll: 8O

No Hands Mouse
"One pedal features a proprietary 360-degree pressure-sensitive mechanism, allowing the user to control both cursor speed and direction with one foot, while the second pedal is used as a clicking device. You can type and control the cursor, point and click, and drag and drop without taking your hands off the keyboard."
