Another NOOB question

I just got my USB 3" Happs trackball.  I haven't built my CP yet (be prepared for many ?'s regarding wiring) but I want to test out the trackball.  I plugged it in my USB port and I was able to navigate the screen and through GameEx FE using the trackball so I thought all was well.  However, when I tried to play Golden Tee 2001 I couldn't use the trackball.  How do I get Mame to recognize the trackball is plugged in?
Texasmame:
Enable mouse support in MAME. . .
urbecrisch:
Still doesn't work.  I'm new to Mame & not sure how to setup using USB trackball.  Under default game properties<controllers I ENABLED MOUSE INPUT.  I could use the mouse but not the trackball.  Then I also ENABLED MOUSE under default game properties<controller mapping and I still cannot use the trackball.  What am I doing wrong?
u_rebelscum:
Mice are handled like joysticks: each mouse is separate from each other.  Your trackball is probably mouse 2 (or higher) & thus defaulting to player 2 (or higher).  So remap (in-game, tab).  More info on remapping at mameFAQ h05 & h03.

here's a newbie answer.

Got download mala, install it, point mame.exe to it.  Say yes to all those question/etc.  Now that U have it setup, click on the config button that next to the mame.exe location field.  It should bring up the mame config in a NICE GUI (windows look), GOTO the controller tab, PLACE a check on the 'Enable mouse input" bock and click OK.

Enjoy!!!!
