      Guys,

      I have a X-Arcade Tank stick with trackball. When plugged into my PC it acts as a mouse. When plugged into Recalbox. I cant seem to get it to work at all. Joysticks and buttons are fine. Can anyone help ? I would love to play Cabal , centipede , and arknoid with it. I have both USb cables plugged in also btw

        @implode99 hi
        Imn not sure those cores handle mices. Anyway, it's probably a good thing to check the retroarch inputs. I have a tankstick too, and never ever tried to make the mouse part work

          @substring its wierd. I had centipede working for very short time with mame4all (read it was supporting mouse). But some reason it stopped and i cant get it working again . Tired every combo, looked in .cfg files etc

            @implode99 a simple look at core inputs in the retroarch options is necessary

                @implode99 the gui i guess. Retropie has a wiki on it, but this may be colplicated tonapply tonrecalbox for nulerous reasons. But you may get the general idea

                  I am kind of surprised its not implemented as standard within the configuration for X-Arcade sticks, since they are so popular( I say this regretfully) .

                    @implode99 because no one ever asked so far for any help on this ? And anyway mouse support in retroarch is very new
