      A3D Mouse Emulation

      The Assassin 3D Mouse utility allows you to use the Assassin 3D trackball as a secondary pointing device (cursor controller) under Windows 95. Now you can use your high-precision Assassin 3D trackball to give you pixel-by-pixel control. This is also great for teaching small children how to control the mouse movements by giving them a large ball and large buttons.

      1. Click here to download amouse.exe. (It is also available in the standard Driver Packages)
      2. When asked where you want to save it, choose your c:\madcatz directory.
      3. To run it, just click Start, then Run..., then type c:\madcatz\amouse.exe.

      This will execute the utility and place a small icon in your System Tray. Click this icon to bring up the utility's features. These include:

      1. Turn off Assassin 3D Mouse, this will unload the Assassin 3D Mouse Emulation program.
      2. Add to Startup, This will add the Assassin 3D Mouse Emulation program to the Startup Folder which will make it load every time you restart your computer. Once this has been added to your Startup Folder, the prompt will change to Remove from Startup. This will allow you to remove the Assassin 3D Mouse Emulation Program from your Startup Folder.
      3. Disable Assassin 3D Mouse, this will turn off the Assassin 3D Mouse Emulation. This option will leave the program running so you can easily re-enable the mouse emulation. Once you have disabled the Assassin 3D Mouse Emulation, the prompt will change to Enable Assassin 3D Mouse.
      4. Close this Window, this will leave all the settings as they are and minimize the control window back to the little red joystick shortcut icon.

      The Assassin 3D Mouse Emulation program works just like your mouse. The left button is used for normal mouse left button selecting and dragging and the right button is used for normal right button selecting and special dragging. You can control the button selections and acceleration through your normal mouse driver controls. Your Mouse driver controls are usually found in the Control Panel. Click Start followed by settings and click on Control Panel. Locate and double click on Mouse.

      Notes:

      1. This software is Version 1.0. If you find any problems with this utility or have any feature requests, please email support.
      2. Make sure you disable this software before running any Windows 95 game that supports the Assassin 3D (like WinQuake, GLQuake and QuakeWorld). Otherwise, your Assassin 3D performance will be severely compromised.
      3. You cannot remove your existing pointing device. This utility allows the Assassin 3D to be used in conjunction (simultaneously) with your existing mouse.
      4. You can change the sensitivity of the Assassin 3D control by clicking on Mouse in the Control Panel, clicking on the Motion tab and changing the Pointer Speed as desired.
      5. This utility requires the Windows 95 driver; click here to transfer to the Windows 95 driver page.
      6. If you get a message saying that the "Assassin 3D was not detected", you will need to make sure that the Windows 95 Game Controllers is configured with the FPgaming Assassin3D & Joystick option or Madcatz Panther & Joystick, and that it is calibrated. See Calibrating in Win95. If you are using DirectX 5 and Game Controllers, you will also want to make sure that you only have one joystick option installed.
      7. If you click on the Mouse Emulation Shortcut and your cursor goes to a corner and stays there (you may be able to bring it out but it returns when you stop moving the Trackball) you will need to re-calibrate your A3D product. See Calibrating in Win95. If you are using DirectX 5 and Game Controllers, you will also want to make sure that you only have one joystick option installed.
