3’’ Trackball w/USB- PS/2 Interface / SpinTrak Rotary Control Spinner
jcutler0902:
Hello,
Just look for some help in configuring the above. I bought an I-pac for all of my joys and buttons.
I have read conflicting information on configuring the trackball and spinner. Some people have told me I now need an Opti-pac to make both of these item work in Mame. Other people have mentioned going into the Mame configuration and setting it there. I am running an XP machine and not sure what front end to use.
The trackball does work as a mouse plugged into the USB but does not do anything in any type of Mame game. Any help and clarity is greatly appreciated. I am almost done building my machine and look forward to sharing some pics.
Thanks in advance.

Make sure mouse control is enabled in mame.ini
Make sure the game you are playing is set to mouse axes for the x and y inputs in the tab menu.

It's almost certainly the mouse isn't in the cfg. You can also enable it in the command line by putting -mouse

So it sounds like I do not need the Opti-pac. I assume if I bought this, this would take care of my spinner and trackball issue or do I still need to configure the above.
Thanks again

I believe the Optipac is only if you want multiple analog devices controlled separately. Typically a spinner and a trackball both share the X axis as a standard mouse.
