My trackball isn't working on some games, please help!

Golden Tee and Golden Tee 2 along with two different versions of Missile Command don't seem to work with my track ball.

I'm running MameWah with newest version of MAME.

I've got a HAPP trackball going to the PS2 connector on the computer.

Any ideas?

Does your trackball work in Mame without using MameWah?

And do you have the mouse enabled for those games that don't work?

How would I enable the mouse?  I didn't do anything to disable it.

I'm going to try to see if I can use the trackball launching directly from mame when I get home from work.

Go into the mame directory and execute "mame -cc" command.  This will generate a "mame.ini" file.   You can then edit this file, go under "Input Device Options" and set "mouse=1"
