No progress with MAME ANALOGUE :(
Gradius:
I have set multiplemice to 1 in the ini. I have 2 usb mice both working (controlling the same cursor) under win98. When I load a lightgun game in MAME Analogue with the hope of having 2 independent cursors, I have no control at all with any of my mice. Any idea what's wrong? I have mouse set to 1 in the ini too.

For lightgun games, win98, and multiple mice, the most reliable settings are:
mouse 1
multiplemice 1
lightgun 0
lightgun2a 0
lightgun2b 0
and probably switchablemice 1
To test which physical has what number, the easiest is to start a game, go into Inputs (this game), and remap something to a mouse press. You should get a couple mice's numbers, the non zero mouse number is that mouse's mouse number in analog+. (Remap to normal by pressing enter then esc.) Remember to remap the mouse buttons to the game buttons (ctrlr ini's are GREAT for this.)
With switchablemice enabled, there is a new menu item in mame's in-game UI, "Mouse Controls". Go into there and set each player to the correct mouse. (Instead, you can hand edit the cfg/*.ana game file, made after playing a mouse/lightgun/spinner/TB/360wheel game.)
Let me know if this doesn't help. (Please, include the total number mice installed, directX version installed, and the noted above options settings.)

I already had those options set as you mention. I'm using Win98SE with a Benq USB mouse and a USB Logitech Optical Trackball. Both are detected in windows as HID Mouse. I have no special drivers installed. The version of DX is 8.1. Both mice control the windows mouse cursor. I'm testing with Zero Point 2. No movement of the cursor at all. When I define controls in input this game I can assing mouse 0 as fire (left button click). If I assing controls but with the other mouse it also writes mouse 0, which I think it means that both mice are recognized, but not separatelly. What I don't understand is why none of them move the cursor. I cannot see any menu called mouse controls.
BTW, thank you very much for your kind help.

On the tab menu, at the same level, you should see
"Input All Games"
"Input This Game"
and
"Mouse Controls"
If "Mouse Controls" is missing, either your general mame .ini file is not set right, or MAMEAnalog is not reading it.

UPDATE: You also have to be in a game that originally used a Spinner, trackball, rotary joystick, or dial.
Drove me nuts that I wasn't getting the Mouse Controls menu in 19xx when I was trying to check this out for you.
