Another NOOB question
urbecrisch:
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!!!!
