Atari Fightstick trackball not working on Mac
I have the Atari 2 player USB fightstick with trackball, using it with OpenEmu on the Mac. The buttons work great. The trackball is connected and controlling the mouse on my computer, but it does not control anything in the game (tried with Centipede and Missile Command). Is there anything I need to do to set up the trackball?
Thanks!
Anthony

Any MAME based framework should work as an alternate.

Thanks, I found a different version of MAME and got the trackball working. OpenEmu does not support the trackball.

Try configuring the trackball to act like a joystick instead. I've also heard you need to use the experimental version of OpenEmu, as trackball support can be iffy.

Thanks, I am using the experimental version of OpenEmu. I don't see any way to configure the trackball. Any tips on that? Does anyone have the trackball working with arcade games on the Mac?
And if the trackball isn't supported on OpenEmu, is there a different way to use the trackball on a Mac to play Centipede or Missile Command?
