: Hi all,
: Hopefully someone can offer a solution...
: While building my MAME cabinet, I had installed 2 sidewinders (daisy chained) and games played great. After finishing the cab., I added the other 2 sidewinders for a total of 4. I immediately noticed that the system would glitch for about 2-3 seconds every 30 seconds or so.
: I'm running Athlon XP 1800 CPU with 512Mb RAM, Win 98 SE, and nothing else loaded to the system except for the sidewinder utility and MAME32. I also have a CompUSA trackball and mouse-hack-spinner installed in the system.
: Has anyone else run into this situation with 4 Sidewinders installed? Also, if I remove player 3 and 4 sidewinders, the system gets much better, but still glitches every couple of minutes.
: Thanks,
: Tony
