Can't get Trackball to work in Mame (Sorry guys, tried searching)

(1/2) > >>

postalp123:
After searching through the forum of similiar probs, I set the Mame.ini to this:

### Input device options ###
mouse                   1
joystick                0
lightgun                0
dual_lightgun           0
offscreen_reload        0
steadykey               0
keyboard_leds           1
led_mode                ps/2
a2d_deadzone            0.300000
# ctrlr                 <NULL> (not set)
paddle_device           keyboard
adstick_device          keyboard
pedal_device            keyboard
dial_device             mouse
trackball_device        mouse
lightgun_device         mouse
digital                 none

But still no function out of the trackball (Windows recognizes it as a mouse)

Thanks!

Minwah:
Have you mapped trackball inputs to MAME inputs?  Run a game and check in Tab > Input (general)

Howard_Casto:
Yes, by default mame is now set to mouse 1, not any mouse.  You have to remap it to the mouse you'll be using. 


*sigh* someone predicted this and I was flamed for complaining too much.

Well to be fair, I prefer how it works now...not our problem if it is a tad harder to setup for the noobs.

Howard_Casto:
Granted so do I BUT.... we've been at this for a loooong time, I don't think it's fair to make such an advanced setup mandatory when it just as easily could have been made optional.
