Turning trackball on in MAME - How do I access the .ini file??
(1/2) > >>
Flake:
OK so I have searched and searched for this topic and maybe (OK well probably) I'm just a dumb@#$ but what file exactly do I need to access to turn the trackball on?

I am running the Binary v. 124 of MAME.  I dont see any files marked as .ini and the only thing close I've seen is something under my docs folder called config, but seems to be just an informational text file rather than a working .ini file.

Can someone please provide folder by folder instructions (MAME folder is on my desktop) on how to access this file so I can play trackball games?  Simpsons bowling anyone? 

Many thanks in advance

mame.ini.  It should be in the same folder as the MAME executable.  If you don't see one, try running "mame -cc" to create a default config.  Then edit it and look for the 'mouse' setting and change it to 1.

Yeah, that's what the "Binary v. 124 of MAME" is.  The link you provided is for the MAME source code BTW.  :)

David, you're linking the source file. ;)

Flake, do as ahofle said.

edit: too slow.
