Lost use of Trackball/Spinner
« on: February 14, 2003, 04:17:49 pm »
Im hoping someone could help me, I lost the ability to use my Happs Trackball and Oscar spinner in Mame.  I am using MAME 0.64 running TurboMAME FE, and an IPAC and OptiPAC.   The Trackball and Spinner are hooked through a serial port.  I can use them in the Windows environment, but I cannot in MAME.  I also lose ability to use my mouse in MAME as well.  I have put another computer in my cabinet to test the TB/spinner and everything works fine on that computer, so it isnt a wiring problem.  Has anyone had a similar problem, or can anyone give me an idea of where to look to correct this?  Any help is appreciated.  Thanx.

So you lost it when you upgraded mame?  Did you happen to overwrite the mame.ini file?  Mouse enabled in that file?

No, it just stopped working.  It had been working fine.
