Hello, Just look for some help in configuring the above. I bought an I-pac for all of my joys and buttons. I have read conflicting information on configuring the trackball and spinner. Some people have told me I now need an Opti-pac to make both of these item work in Mame. Other people have mentioned going into the Mame configuration and setting it there. I am running an XP machine and not sure what front end to use. The trackball does work as a mouse plugged into the USB but does not do anything in any type of Mame game. Any help and clarity is greatly appreciated. I am almost done building my machine and look forward to sharing some pics. Thanks in advance. Jason |

Make sure mouse control is enabled in mame.ini Make sure the game you are playing is set to mouse axes for the x and y inputs in the tab menu. |

It's almost certainly the mouse isn't in the cfg. You can also enable it in the command line by putting -mouse |

So it sounds like I do not need the Opti-pac. I assume if I bought this, this would take care of my spinner and trackball issue or do I still need to configure the above. Thanks again Jason |

I believe the Optipac is only if you want multiple analog devices controlled separately. Typically a spinner and a trackball both share the X axis as a standard mouse. |
