| Trackball lights up but mouse not moving. |

The trackball must be plugged into the mouse PS/2 port when the computer is booted. On the fly changing of mouse and trackball on the PS/2 port will usually not work and may damage the computer. |

Yeppers, BobA is correct as usual. Change your Mame.ini file and have that plugged in when you boot and you'll be set. :cheers: |

I have the very same trackball and it would not work on a couple of dell pc's which I have, It would work on an old machine with ps2 connection on the motherboard but not the dells addon port. It also would not work with a ps2 to usb adaptor, I had to purchase an active ps2 to usb convertor for the dell to see it as mouse. I assume that the trackball is generic ps2 protocol and not like some ps2 mice which are dual ps2/usb protocol which work with the simple adaptor. Summing up, save yourself anymore hassle and buy an active ps2 to usb convertor and plug into a usb port, job done. Rob Edit: just read you hadn't it plugged in at bootup, try that first, might work but didn't for me. If it does happys days, if not active converter will sort you out |

Re-started and changed the .ini file. Everything is working! :) How do I change the trackball settings from opposite directional movement (i.e. roll up moves arrow down and vice versa)? Or, is that how it would be preferred for MAME? Thanks again everyone! |
