Yeah, I'm a newbie. Glad we got that outta the way.

That said, I stumbled onto a site describing the HotROd joysticks...and couldn't resist. :) I did some playing with MAME back in 96...but haven't touched it since then, and don't remember much. Anyway, I'm looking to get some serious MAME-ing done on my PC (Duron 700, 256MB RAM)...and the HotRod looked like the way to go. Just ordered it.

SO...what would you do, if you were me. Getting a HotRod, running WinXP on a Duron 700, etc.???? Which executable (wmame? mame32? mame?) would you use, with a frontend or not, etc.

ALSO...a buddy of mine regularly raves about the good ol days of 3-player Rampart...is there any way to hook up 3 trackballs (perhaps those compusa ones, with USB adapters?) to a PC and have MAME recognize all of them?

Thanks guys...e-mail replies welcome...
