Are you certain that the file you downloaded is a perfect match for your version/compilation of MAME?   :dunno

To generate mame.ini, use the "mame -cc" command like Hoopz describes here -- if you aren't comfortable with typing in commands, scroll down to Quadrider1's reply for how to do it using a batch file.   :cheers:

Um....no, I'm not.  I didn't have that file in my installation so I gave it a try.  It's just part of the narrative of how I fixed the trackball problem.

The reason I asked is that there is a chance that the .ini you downloaded might have some different settings/variable names than the version of MAME you installed.   :dunno

Better to take 5 minutes (or less) to delete the downloaded .ini, generate a guaranteed good one, and re-edit it now rather than finding an error sometime later that might be hard to trace back to the .ini.

Generating a new .ini is a cheap insurance policy IMHO.  YMMV.   ;D
