Hi.

I just got hold of an Egret II Mini spinner and trackball. I got the spinner to work well with Arkanoid and also the AY-3-8500 core with the documented .ini file tweaks.
I'd like to get the trackball working in Missile Command, but whilst I can map the buttons okay, the trackball does nothing. Does anyone know if it's possible to get this working please?

Thanks!

Yes, I followed that thread. It's how I got the spinner working. Unfortunately doesn't help with the trackball.
I'll try the main input mapping again.

First thing to check is that you only have spinner_vid and spinner_pid set for specific cores, and not in the main body of mister.ini, as this will render the mouse function of the trackball inoperable.

(You also won't need to input map the trackball or spinner, just the buttons)

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I found you can't set the spinner globally!
I'll plug it into my Linux machine and see what that picks up.
