Not a spokesman, but my new X-Arcade Tankstick Max with the added spinners is pretty great. Though nowadays a lot pricier than it used to be. I think I got my first one for something like $120 during a sale.

OK, so tried a mouse game that hadn't yet written an .ini after editing the mame.ini, and it worked instantly. So there's a problem with the MameUI64 interface and choosing XArcade in the GUI vs its actual config files. Thanks all for your suggestions and help!
-
OK, this is an odd one. In the root MAME64UI, it's making an .ini for each game. When I edited the one for Centipede and change the mouse setting from 0 to 1, it started working. Doing it in the mame.ini did not make it work for other games, I had to do it again manually. Not sure why the GUI has these settings but then changing them does nothing at all.
-
I started with a brand new fresh MameUI install. The general options even have an "xarcade" contoller layout setting to choose.
-
I did find the joystick setting, for some reason that was globally set to the number pad instead of up-down-left-right in MAME, so those work now. The old MameUI must have set that itself. As for the trackball/mouse - still haven't found the correct settings. I don't get why my old version works perfectly but the new one does not.
-
Actually, I was only concentrating on the spinner/trackball games. Now that I tried other things, even the joysticks aren't working with the new Mame. But the credit button and 1player start are? Very confused!
-
It looks like I do, also in this new version the "general settings" menu is in a different place.
-
I've been running my emulator on Mame .170 for a very long time (obviously) Decided to try to upgrade to the latest .264. But duplicating the general settings, the trackball on my X-Arcade isn't working at all on the new version. Not even sure what to check at this point. It's just supposed to be a mouse. The trackball even moves in the interface, just not the games!

How weird - the TankStick showed up a few hours later, and then the delivery photo was updated correctly. Guess the UPS guy scanned the wrong box or something? Anyway, YAY. Now Saturday night plans are back to what they were supposed to be!
-
Fantastic. Someone else has my new X-Arcade Tankstick today. Delivery proof photo certainly isn't my house.

@GoldLeader It was great! So glad we had a chance to see them live. Venue was small (1000 people max) so pretty much anywhere was up close! And boy was the beer flowing, I don't think my wife left the couch all day yesterday.

Asteroids Recharged On Test At Arcade Galactic In Utah
thanatos replied to Shaggy the Atarian's topic in Atari General
There was a 2-Player at MGC this past weekend. I thought it was fun, but I made the comment about the cost vs. the $10 steam game to my friends around me. Turns out I was in range the company rep, he came up to me and said "Thanks for the input!" and handed me his card. So yeah, felt a bit bad, but again, wasn't judging the game itself, just the cabinet economics. Looks like it would do well in an arcade. -
Yay taxes are done. Also Boo.

Didn't they have a court case to legalize pinball tournaments in WI because of some ancient dumb laws? I remember your wife talking about it years ago, having witnesses lined up to play pinball and what not, and it got cancelled or something like that.
