: : :But we would have an even bigger prob.... mame dosen't support 2 mice, so unless you use one in joystick mode and one in mouse mode it wouldn't work.

: : Does too. Dmame has native support, for Win32 you need Analog+ by U_Rebelscum

Not exactly sure what you're asking here, but I'll try to answer.

dmame has support for two mice with the opti-plus mouse driver, or an other driver with two mouse support.

win32 mame has a patch ("Analog+") that allows up to 4 USB mice (one per player) to be played at the same time (in win98 and winMe).

Examples:

1. both versions (above) can play Cabal with two mice, if your system is set up correctly for that version.
2. Analog+ can play rampart with 3 players, with 3 USB mice (one for each player), on win98 or winMe systems.

win32 mame by default only sees the mouse data after windows has joined all mice into one virtual mouse.
Analog+ on a WinNT or Win2k system, or Analog+ with ps/2 & serial mice is also like that: mice joined to one virtual mouse. :-(

Hope this addresses your question.
