When using the trackball in mame with an OptiPac, are the left and right mouse buttons used in mame? Do I need them?

No they aren't used in Mame, but I've mapped them to by F1 & F2 AND Left and Right mouse buttons. 

If you use your trackball as a mouse, the Left & Right buttons are very handy.

Ok sounds good.

How about using two trackballs like for heade-to-head mame.  How would you configure it for the second player? Is there a setup for 2 trackballs?

Optipac can handle 2 trackballs and yes there is a setup to handle L & R for Player 2.

I have to check to see if it works.. but if you wanted to use L & R via the Opti-pac for game play, you would have to edit the games control configurations.
