Can't use trackball in Marble Madness????
« on: September 08, 2002, 11:18:56 am »
I can't seem to figure out how to configure the trackball!

I read on KLOV that some boards don't have trackball support. Does this mean I need a different ROM?

Anyone know how to make it recognise my trackball?

Have you been into the controller properties and enabled mouse support for that game? I don't have a trackball, but it seems a fairly safe bet that will help :)

Controller Properties? Tab?

I haven't messing with Mame settings much.. As you can tell from my LAST problem. hehe

The TAB menu didn't have anything about mouse support. I've tried a bunch of F keys and i couldn't find it there either. You're probably right, but I can't find the menu for it.   :P

I think he assumed you were using mame32.  If you are using the commandline mame look in the ini file.

Darn, I'm afraid I still can't figure it out. I looked in a few ini files and no mention of a mouse..

How can Marble Madness of all things not use the trackball as default!?

what version of mame are you using?  commandline mame or mame32.

If commandline mame look in the mame.ini file in your mame folder.

If in mame32, goto Options/Default options...
Click on the Controllers tab and enable mouse input.

I'm using both mame 36 for dos and mame 60 for dos. Neither have a mame.ini file. There is a mame.cfg file in mame 36 and it has mouse=yes.

I can't believe its so hard to enable the mouse for a game that is SUPPOSED to use a trackball! Wierd.

ahhhhh

its -createconfig btw.

it works now. Like i've said before I haven't messed around much with the software settings. I'm more of a hardware guy. I don't have a dedicated computer yet either so its not in its final setup yet either.

After i did the createconfig I got my ini file and i set it to mouse=1. it works now.

-cc is short for -createconfig, both should work.
