Windows Command Mame- Can I use MOUSE??? how?

[Demon-Seed]

Hi,
I am running windows command line mame with lazarus and I wanted to use the mouse for games like area 51 etc.. until I get that light gun I keep dreaming about. How do I get a mouse to work? Someone said its in the config file but I can not find any kind of mame.ini, or mame.cfg file in the Mame dir.. could someone be kind enough to walk me through it? I would appreciate it.. I am running the mame command line one but the windows version not the dos one.

Thanks
Jim

I found the .cfg files but I open them in notepad and I can not read it? I tried editing in command mode too but I can not read it.

Yes, the one still in the middle is for player 2.  Move it out of the way with player 2's joystick/keyboard ('F' & 'G' to move to bottom right with default input settings).  You are supposed to be able to turn off both, but some (all?) games have a bug where you can't, and if it worked then you wouldn't have the cross for player 1 anyway.  I think it's F4 or something.

It's f1 to turn them off and unfortunately as you said, it turns all cross hairs off.  Perhaps in the next version each player's crosshair will be seperate.
