MAMEWAH & TRACKBALL QUESTION
big_garryb:
I hope someone can advise me here:
i have disassembled my PC as i build because i was playing games instead of building the cab........ no PC means building quicker.
ANYWAY - i have bought a 3" happ trackball and an optipac..... but the happ trackball had a usb plug - so it worked fine with mame32 for the trackball games.
So - i sold the optipac on ebay as i decided it wasnt needed.
Now iev been thinking - i switched on the trackball to work as a mouse within mame32. Now i want to use Mamewah for that for authentic feel - will my USB trackball work ok, or do i now need my optipac back to make it work?
I dont want to setup my pc to find out as i will start gaming again.
Anyones help is very much appreciated!!

You need to set 'mouse 1' in your mame.ini file to use the trackball *in MAME*. This is the equiv of ticking the mouse box in MAME32.
Think of MAME32 of an emulator (which happens to have a built-in FE), rather than a FE - if it works in MAME32 it will work in MAME.
You cannot use the trackball to control MAMEWAH itself atm, but watch this space ;)

It would pretty freakin schweet to be able to give the TB a smack and have the list entries fly by.

Hehe, I was just on my cab doing just that ;D
Have a few small things to finish on the mouse support, then I will be attacking the PC stick stuff...
