I only have 1 have 1 hand and would like to play games like Tempest but cannot figure how to set the controllers to mouse settings.

What release of MAME are you using? DOS MAME? MAME32? MacMAME?

Sorry, that would help!

I'm not on my home machine, and I forget the exact menus, but first you have to tell MAME32 you would like to use your mouse. Somewhere there is a controllers menu that lets you enable or disable controllers for MAME32, including the mouse.

Once you've done that, the games that require analog controls may start automagically working with the mouse. If not, the in-game config menu, brought up with the tab key after you start a game, should get you to where you need.

If you're still having trouble and no one else has helped, I'll refresh my memory on the menu names after I get home tonight.

MAME32. I'd like to lay Centipede and Tempest. Can most games be somehow played with a mouse?

Just go to "Default Game Properties" and then to "Controllers" and then click on "Enable Mouse Input". Simple.

You may also want to upgrade to MAMEUI rather than using the older MAME32.

Yep...

Also, within the ROM itself (i.e. hit the TAB key after booting the ROM) there's an "Analog Controls" option. Within there, you can adjust the sensitivity and experiment which value works best.

For example, in a game like Tail Gunner that has cross hairs, I've found that sensitivity set at 75 works best for me.
