: BTW XP Rocks! Jump into the 21st century and leave your out-dated os's with it... I've been running it and I LOVE it. It's like 2000 but without the confusing 14 click menu hierarchy system that everybody hates. Oh and btw you can actually play games and use hardware in Xp unlike 2000.
Can you comfirm if XP + directX 8 (8.1) lets DX8 apps see two USB mice as separate devices? Win98 and WinMe do, but WinNT and Win2000 don't. This is a feature that we just got when DX8 came out, and since XP uses a improved win2000 kernel, I have a feeling windows programmers will lose this feature one year after we got it.
If you (anybody) have two USB mice & XP, can you test it with this mame or some other program that can use two mice (MID for example)? Please e-mail me any results, or post it up here.
Thanks
