Re: SlikStik setup question

I haven't received my Classic yet (should be soon, I talked to Chris by
phone a couple of days ago), so take this with a grain of salt.

I think the reason some of the controls don't show values is that they are
either connected as mouse buttons or connected to the same input as a
second
control on the board. For example, I think that the four-way joystick on
the Classic is connected to the up-down-left-right inputs of the Player 1
eight-way joystick so that remapping that control also affects the
four-way.
Also, I think that the trackball and spinner are actually configured as
mice, so that they don't show up as ipac controls. The buttons near them
may also be configured as mice buttons so that they aren't connected to
the
ipac either.

As I say, I haven't received my controller yet, but I downloaded WinIPAC
and
the slikstik controller files and I believe that is why some of the
controls
and buttons aren't mappable.

I did find that some buttons were mouse click buttons, and some are other
"non-character" keys. And the trackball and spinner work OK. But I can't
figure out how to make it work in MAME yet. A pre-programmed disc or
instructions would have been great.
