utrak setup ...and... trackball pc games

[deezdrama]

Ive had my cab done for a month or so and getting close to being done with the hyperspin drive ive been setting up (painstakingly) for weeks, my utrak functions in windows as a mouse but have not tried using it in any games.
What is the process to set it up in mame to work with games that support it?


Are there any good newer pc games that will make use of a trackball?
Ive heard of hampsterball but havent looked into it, any others?

Thanks

If it doesn't work automatically, you need to enable (1) mouse in mame.ini.

# CORE INPUT OPTIONS
#
coin_lockout              1
ctrlr                     
mouse                     1
joystick                  1
lightgun                  0
multikeyboard             0
multimouse                0

If you don't currently have a mame.ini file in the "..\mame\ini\" folder, create one using "mame -cc". (create config) 

Also check the automatic input options.

# CORE INPUT AUTOMATIC ENABLE OPTIONS
#
paddle_device             mouse
adstick_device            keyboard
pedal_device              keyboard
dial_device               mouse
trackball_device          mouse
lightgun_device           keyboard
positional_device         keyboard
mouse_device              mouse

Thanks... havent had a chance to mess with it but was wondering.

How could I configure a couple of my buttons to function as mouse buttons.
