Another trackball problem with Mame 1.06
Ifko:
Sorry guys, I have spent 2 full weekends and about 8 hours trying to educate my self on the problem and solution so I wouldn't have to post this.
Yes, I read through previous posts on this,
yes, I read Easy EMU Mame guide on INI files, Config files, etc, etc
yes, I have tried Trial and Error
yes, I wanted to put TNT in my arcade cabinet
after 8 hours, and asking my self "What would Jesus Do?" Even God himself would of pulled out the Magnum and put it to the pasture.
My control setup works perfectly on earlier versions, but I really do want to get 1.06 up and going.
I am running 2 joysticks, one being rotary, a spinner and a trackball (trackball doubles as my mouse input)
Basically mame always recognizes my spinner as mouse input even if I deactivate it, but never my Trackball.
What have I done:
I went through my mame.INI files and tried every possible configuration:
from setting mouse to 1 (turning it on)
then changing mouse input device-- from mouse to mouse(1-5).
each time trying it with setting the on mouse function eachtime on 0, then 1.
I went into TAB controls (General) Controller 1-- It will Never register a movement for both Mouse input or Trackball. I can move the spinner and it will always calibrate.
Lastly, I tried messing with the CNFG files with trackball code, I am not the best at this but inserted trackball code into default CNFG file and still no luck.
What am I over looking, were might the issue lye??????
Setting up my rotary controls were cake to this.
going nuts in the Detroit subs
thanks Scott

go to your input settings in mame while in a game and push the tab button and select the input general settings and go down to trackball and set it. it is probably not set highlight it and set it for both x and y axis. and it should work, I have a nasty spinner set up and a trackball and both work fine.
ps what type of connections are your mouse and trackball

yes, been their tried that.....in my post above, you'll see ..."I went into TAB controls (General) Controller 1-- It will Never register a movement for both Mouse input or Trackball. I can move the spinner and it will always calibrate."
I am not running a mouse, my trackball is my mouse it is a ps2 type connection.
still very baffled, especially the fact that it wont register movement in the tab settings.

This may seem dumb, but I have had problems getting the trackball to register in one axis if I also accidentally spin a little on the other axis. When setting Track X for example, do a quick but short spin in the horizontal direction only. If it doesn't register do it again in the same direction but backwards, and repeat until it picks it up. I'm sure you're way past this though, just thought I'd throw it out there.

thanks Ahofle for the reply, yes way past that, I read your post on this in my research for a quest for a solution.
I tried all directions fastly, and slowly, too just slightly.........still nothing.
just a quick question, some guys have said that their mouse was registered to mouse port 2 and etc... how do they know this, just by trial and error and thats what it worked on??
