still struggling to get the trackball and spinner working.
it seems when i go into a game in mame like centipede, hit tab to set the track x analog to the trackball, it doesn't populate when i move the trackball. It's like mame doesn't want to pay attention to analog devices at all or something. Same with the spinner. For example in this the thread below when i select "Track X Analog" and move the trackball, it just stays blank. despite the fact that from the windows desktop moving the trackball moves the mouse pointer.
Is mouse enabled in mame.ini?
You may not have a "mame.ini" file since it isn't created by default during install.
Run the MAME executable one time with the "-cc" (create config) switch to generate the file.
i.e. "mame64.exe -cc"
- You can run the command from command line
or make a shortcut to the executable and edit the shortcut's properties, adding " -cc" after the executable name in Target.
Open "mame.ini" with Notetpad to edit settings as desired.
- 0 is disabled. (lightgun)
- 1 is enabled. (mouse, joystick)
