Argh!! Control panel is wrecking my head - two stupid problems...
jace055:
On my CP I mapped the left and right mouse buttons mapped to regular keys on the ipac. Then I use autohotkey and load a simple script in the startup folder to change the keyboard letters to left and right clicks. Simple instructions for this are included with the autohotkey program.
And for the trackball, press tab while in game and change the "this game settings" to use the trackball instead of mouse 1 is am guessing. Do you have a regular mouse plugged in as well?

Which interface are you using? Like u_rebelscum says, the ipac doesn't do optical devices, so maybe you are using the minipac. So, if you are using the minipac, this has mouse buttons inputs.

guys,
thanks for all the replies.
i guess im having some kind of breakdown - im using a mini-PAC and completly forgot it had the mouse inputs. dont know what got into me. i was about to start desoldering my mouse - thankfully it didnt get that far.
i'll start messing around with the Mini-Pacs inputs tonight as i guess i just need to rewire my right mouse control.
as for the trackball - still a bit confused here.
i do have a regular mouse plugged in. would this cause that weird conflict in MAME32 where the trackball works in the menu (and in windows) but not "in-game"
if i use the in tab menu during a game and try to change the "this game settings" i cant seem to get my trackball to register.
again - thanks guys. i kind of knew i was doing something dumb.
i blame hours of paint thinners.
Portnoy:
If your TB is working in windows and in the MAME32 user interface then it sounds like you just need to enable it in MAME32’s options located at: Options, Default Game Options, Controllers Tab, and check “enable mouse input”. My apologies if I missed somewhere that you already attempted this.

Not sure how MAME32 does it, but it's been mentioned that more recent versions of command-line MAME can handle more than one optical input. So, if the mouse is enabled in the MAME options (as per Portnoy's instructions), then try moving the mouse in-game instead of the trackball. This will indicate that it's looking at the wrong device.
