Title: trackball/spinner not responding in MAME but do in WinXP & Stella
Post by: metaHipster on November 08, 2008, 05:30:05 pm

I've got a Happ trackball connected to OptiPac and a USB EZMount spinner from EZ Arcade (http://batman.servebeer.com/spinner/index.htm)

Both work just fine in windows - trackball controls mouse up/down correctly; Spinner moves mouse X-axis.

However in MAME 0122 I've tried both & neither do anything, only the joystick.  Any tips?  Mame tab-menu shows mouse x-axis for analog paddle control.

I'll try Mame0128 just in case that helps...

you have to tick the enable mouse function in the mame interface option it is a regular option not something you will find with the tab key menu's.

or you can go into the mame.ini and manually change it from 0 to 1

Also, it's easier it you leave multiple mice disabled.  Yes, disabled.  To most people this is the more natural way, and no extra setup needed.
