When the serial jumper is set, I get two listings
1) HID-compliant mouse at loc 0 (my wireless mouse I guess)
2) Standard serial mouse on prolific USB to serial comm port (com3)
When the usb jumper is set, I only get the mouse at loc 0

I'm not sure it will show up as a mouse in XP as long as you have another real mouse plugged in.
What do you see in the MAME config menu? MAME uses the rawmouse API under XP to detect multiple pointing devices.
joecitizen:
The trackball x & y, 1 and 2 analog settings both read "n/a".
I tried to set the trackball by hitting "enter" and moving the ball, but no dice.
I wondered if it was a mame.ini setting I was missing?
...also, I'm running a microsoft wireless keyboard/mouse combo on a usb port.
Maybe that could be affecting something.
krick:
You have...
mouse 1
...in your mame.ini, correct?
If you do, then try unplugging the Opti-PAC and plugging it into a different pair of USB ports. Windows should re-detect it.
joecitizen:
Okay, I only have the one serial-to-usb cable. Do I actually need two of them, one for each serial output jack on the opti-pac?
I thought that both trackballs mapped to the one output if the p1 jumper was set, but I might have misunderstood that.
my mame.ini is set to "mouse 1"
moved the usb from one jack to another, but the trackball is still undetected in mame config.

You only need one serial-to-USB cable and you hook it up to the connector labeled "serial/USB". Then you switch the jumper to "USB".
To have independent controls for player1 and player2, you need to set the jumper to "P1+2". Otherwise, all controls get mapped to player 1.
