MAME Mouse Problems

StratMan9000:
Hi all, I wasn't sure whether to post this in the General forum or Software, but anyway...
I finally have my cabinet almost up and running, there are just a few problems in my way now.
First of all, I am using a Happ trackball and a Hagstrom KE72-T, as well as the SlikStik Tornado spinner. The problem I am running into is that on the trackball, the x-axis is reversed; so whenever I move it to the left it goes right, and vice-verse. The other problem is that I have the spinner in vertical mode, and when I turn the spinner clockwise it goes up, and when I turn it counter-clockwise, it goes down. Is there something in Windows that I can fix this with?

MTPPC:
When you have a game up on mame, hit tab and set the the Input (General).

wildclay:
As MTPPC mentioned, you can change it in MAME's General input setting (or via individual game settings if you wish). I had the same issue with Golden Tee when I first setup my trackball (also a Happ), now it works excellently!  I assume as a mouse in Windows it works correctly? Or does this same reverse issue occur with the pointer in Windows too? If it doesn't work correctly in Windows you may need a different mouse driver, else you should be able to play with the "pointing device/mouse" settings in the Control Panel.

I actually have a happ trackball and got two random questions (not trying to hijack the thread).

How did you get the trackball to work in mame?  It works as a regular mouse in windows, but nothing works in mame.

Also, the light that is under the trackball.... how do I connect that to make the ball light up?

In your mame.ini file, have you enabled mouse?  It should have a 1 next to Mouse instead of 0.
