If the second TB is mouse 2. (try remapping the one that doesn't work with tab, input, TB2, enter, roll TB, and see if mame sees mouse2 or mouse 3 or whatever number) If the game is correctly setup to use TB2. Some cocktail games need certain dipswitches to be correctly set in addition to the cocktail/standup and the flip screen dipswitches, while others aren't emulated correctly; varies from game to game. If the second mouse works (sounds like it does, though). Hmm, could you name a game you're having problems with so I could test it on my system to see if a game specific problem? The one game I played (cabalus) works fine for me. |

I have tried centipede, missile command and several other games (set to cocktail mode). John |

My suggestion would be: Eliminate the combinations of Multimouse 1 / 0 and the dip switches using the above test, since it will give you a realtime input result for the second mouse. Also, has this ever worked for you -- or is this the first time you're trying it? I might also suspect that the dongle / adapter might not be working properly. I would also try removing both mouse devices in Windows and letting them redetect if the above troubleshooting yields no results. |

Nothing changed except now in MAME the primary trackball reads as 2X and 2Y (???) so I had to reprogram my games. Other than that it is the same, second trackball does nothing when Opti-PAC is jumpered to P1+2. As far as your other suggestions, I will try changing the "1" to "0" and programing the second trackball. And no, I have never been able to get this to work (have only been trying for a few weeks). If nothing works I will load MAME on my laptop and see how the trackballs work there. John |

So it's not the TB to optipac, or optipac or PC connections. Something else is up. Mamushka, with the optipac in p1/p2 mode, and -multimouse enabled (set to 1), and -verbose enabled, does mouse show adding both mice? (The lines will start: "Input: Adding Mouse #x...") |
