Can someone please help me get my mouse working in mame

Titchgamer:
When you enter the tab menu and scroll down the list to mouse x and y hit enter (on either) and move your trackball in the associated way.
If mame is recognising it then it will map it to your track ball.
If not there is something else wrong.

To remap controls in the MAME "Input (this Game)" menu:
- Use the up/down arrow keys to highlight the control you want to remap i.e. "Track X Analog"
- Press Enter
- Move the trackball horizontally
- MAME should register that movement and map the trackball X-axis to the "Track X Analog" input
- Do the same for "Track Y Analog" with the vertical Y-axis

If you make a mistake, Enter then ESC will set the highlighted input to "none" and Enter then ESC again will return the input to the default setting.

If you get stuck in a service menu, press F3 to reset/reboot the game.

No it does not map the trackball when I try that in the tab config menu

Something in MAME isn't properly configured.

Your mame.ini file should be in the "..\mame\ini\" folder.

-- If it isn't, move it there.

-- If it is, please post a copy so we can help you troubleshoot.

EDIT: Just noticed that you're using MAME64.

Is there a menu in the MAME64 GUI that allows you to enable trackball?

MAMEUIFX has a "Default Games Options--Controllers" menu with that option.

Titchgamer:
Dont think mame 64 has that menu Scott.

But yeah post up the contents of your ini file that should give us some clues....
