why my trackball not working in mame
« on: September 27, 2004, 09:21:03 pm »
i have Golden Tee trackball and opti pac - it is working as expected in Windows to move the pointer.

however when i tried mame to play marble madness and missile command the ball/cross would only move using the joystick.

is there something in mame that i have to do to make the trackball work for these (and others) games?

being originally trackball games i thought they would work automatically.

If you are using windows mame, then find mame.ini and change joystick and mouse to 1.

Hay... Thanks I have not got that far yet and I was wondering how much of a "B" it was going to be.... EZ enough.
