Can someone please help me get my mouse working in mame

(1/6) > >>

coppermouse:
I cannot get any trackball games to work. I have a trackball connected to an ipac going into the serial port on the computer. Trackball or mouse works fine in Windows.
I am running Windows 7 pro 64 bit
MAME64 ver 0.172
I edited mame.ini and set mouse to 1 and trackball_device to mouse
I also tried a USB mouse.
Please help. Everything worked ok on my old computer running 0.038

Titchgamer:
2 stupid things to check first:

1) Have you configured the trackball in the mame options after pressing the tab button?
If so was it recognised ok?

2) some games have to be enabled to use trackballs/spinners etc via there service menu which can be activated via pressing F2.

coppermouse:
Yes it says mouse x and mouse y in the tab config menu

I will try F2 tonight

...but does MAME recognize the mouse when you try to remap them there?

coppermouse:
 I am not sure what you mean "...but does MAME recognize the mouse when you try to remap them there?: ? Can you explain to me better?

Had no luck with using F2, still does not work, and actually I am stuck in the service menu for centipede and cannot get out
