I tried your suggestions with the particular TB/spinner games I am interested in playing. Your advice did the trick! Mame was recognizing the TB as mouse2 and the spinner as mouse3. Thank you so much for your help!!

Glad it helped. Just out of curiosity, what keyboard do you have that's also a mouse?

Under "# CORE INPUT OPTIONS" make sure mouse is set to 1
and under "# CORE INPUT AUTOMATIC ENABLE OPTIONS" next to trackball_device it should say mouse and not keyboard.

Err, mame.ini file, and if mouse is enabled, you don't need to worry about the trackball_device option being set to mouse. All that would do is: if the game has trackball type, enable mouse (which is already enabled).
If mame is acting like you're saying, something's wrong. If what's wrong is with mame, it should be fixed. What version of mame are you you using? Could you retest mouse 1 & trackball_device keyboard again? (It's working for me with 0.127 & 0.128.)

Costs money, won't fix the spinner not working part, he'd lose the mouse fixture of the keyboard, and why it wasn't working is only worked around. If it wasn't for the first two, it would be a good solution, but I prefer attacking the why. But's just me. ;)
