Title: Mame 1.08 / Mamewah 1.62b10 and happ USB trackball?
Post by: JettaGLI on November 27, 2006, 06:43:02 pm
I know it will be something stupid I overlooked but I can't seem to figure out how to enable mouse in Mame 1.08 or Mamewah 1.62B10? Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have tried the TAB during playing missile command but its like the mouse is disabled. So I am guessing I need to enable the mouse in Mamewah 1.62B10. My only problem is where? Do I have to enter a command before the game is started in the Mamewah\ Mame.ini file? Any help would be appreciated!

 ;D OK I founf the enable mouse in Mamewah\Config\mamewah.cfg..... I am a retard. I set mouse to 1 and now trackball works in mamewah. The trackball still doesnt work in Mame 1.08. What am I missing? Is it a command in the Mame.ini inside of Mamewah?

No, it is something within the mame.ini of MAME.  'mouse 1' is the easiest way, although nowadays 'trackball_device mouse', 'dial_device mouse' etc. is preferred.

Holy SHEET!  MINWAH LIVES!

The problem is that your trackball is not your MOUSE DEVICE 0.   I assume you also have a mouse hooked up?   My cabinet is the same way.   My MOUSE is device 0 and my spinner is device 1.   I had to go in to the MAME config menu (TAB) and configure my "PADDLE" and my "DIAL" as device 1 (instead of 0).

Make sure you modify MAME.INI to read "MOUSE      1".

I am probably a bit out of date with stuff...so is my trackball_device etc advice wrong?  I think it is correct, but you then just have to be careful of any mouse-device-specific input mappings.

Not a lot...except my todo list has got a hell of a lot bigger since checking the boards today!  :(  That'll teach me to have some time off....

No you're correct.  Sounds like he had to remap his mouse device inside mame.

Thanks for confirming that :)
