Re: Analog stick inteferring with trackball/mouse

Okay, I figured the trackball part out. I was originally thinking of trying
to get the stick and trackball axes to overlap....but that didn't seem
possible. But then I remembered that my mouse number is different. As I have
a wireless keyboard/mouse deal, and to consolidate controls connections, I
have my trackball hooked into the mouse port. Instead of this

input_map[p1_trackballx] mouse[1,x] -mouse[0,x]
input_map[p1_trackbally] mouse[1,y] -mouse[0,y]

it is

input_map[p1_trackballx] mouse[2,x] -mouse[0,x]
input_map[p1_trackbally] mouse[2,y] -mouse[0,y]

(I know, the axes are reversed. For some reason, that equals correct
cardinal directions on my system. Always has, despite OS re-install, so it
must be the wiring in my control panel.)

Then I thought, what would '3' do?

input_map[p1_trackballx] mouse[3,x] -mouse[0,x]
input_map[p1_trackbally] mouse[3,y] -mouse[0,y]

And this allows the trackball to work simultaneously with the analog stick.
Jesus. Simple, but jesus. Note that a game-specific setting was not
necessary, but is viable if needed. However, I haven't figured out a fix for
the spinner here, so I'm keeping the workaround:
