How is Super Breakout not DQ'd for being unplayable without a spinner/trackball. Anyone get mouse working?

It's near impossible for me too.... but I'm going to try connecting up my XBox360 controller, to see if the analog stick on that makes sbrkout any more playable than the keyboard.

I'll let you know how I get on..... once I get home from work that is......

Tried analog joystick, still crap.

Yup. Just home from work and the analog stick is still rubbish for me as well. I'll have to leave this for the others who're already getting way more than my maximum 46 points thus far.

I played it with a mouse and found it fine. There's no reason to keep playing it with my own teammate being over 2k but I was able to do 1500+ with a mouse.

So back to my original question, how did you get the mouse working? I sometimes see mouse x on the input page but with no effect and can't seem to add any mouse based inputs.

-mouse on the commandline, or change mouse 0 to mouse 1 in mame.ini. Input mappings to analogue inputs should be automatic.

Ah there we go, I was combining the 2, putting mouse 1 in command line.

You also would want to adjust analog sensitivity settings in mame.

AND notice that if your mouse windows software has option on removing mouse pointer acceleration then do that...
If acceleration is on - then pointer moves further when moving mouse faster... which is probably not optimal for these type of games (or any type really).

1607 on your first day on Super Breakout? You must be fucking kidding me. You must have owned the game at arcade...

I just assigned it in 106 like any other analog controller and it took.

Nah, I think I played it once or twice at Funspot but that's it. I probably wouldn't do well on the actual machine because spinner, but mouse is easy for me.

That's amazing because I can't play this game at all on a mouse. Not that I would really be much better on a spinner since this style of game is a weakness for me, but...

We're generation Pong.
