What controller configuration to use for trackball games like Centipede?

[halfdeck]

Hi,

I'm really enjoying this game. The experience it offers, once configured correctly, is on par with other top notch VR simulations, like Project Cars 2 and DCS. That said, I'm wondering if there's a better way to play games like Missile Command and Centipede than using my steam controller's joystick? Mame doesn't seem to recognize the right pad, which I'm hoping I can use the trackball. If seated, it would be cool if I can use my mouse, but MAME doesn't recognize the mouse either. Any ideas?

Mouse input for the Emulators is not supported. One thing I can suggest if you're using a Steam Controller is to make a toggle using the grips that will switch the left or right touchpad to act like a trackball.

Do you know if there are any plans to implement this? Would be pretty useful for trackball and spinner games since for the former any regular trackball mouse would suffice.

Actually, if anyone runs across this in the future: I've had decent luck using reWASD as a work-around when using a trackball. At some point they added the ability to map mouse controllers to xbox controller protocol events (ie, map to left or right xbox joystick). Not sure that's as good of a solution as native mouse support would be, but it works. You can even create a combined device if you have an arcade controller as well. No idea how / if reWASD would work with Steam controller. Still waiting for it to support z-axis / scroll wheel, though.
