Mame 1.08 / Mamewah 1.62b10 and happ USB trackball?
« on: November 27, 2006, 06:43:02 pm »
I know it will be something stupid I overlooked but I can't seem to figure out how to enable mouse in Mame 1.08 or Mamewah 1.62B10? Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have tried the TAB during playing missile command but its like the mouse is disabled. So I am guessing I need to enable the mouse in Mamewah 1.62B10. My only problem is where? Do I have to enter a command before the game is started in the Mamewah\ Mame.ini file? Any help would be appreciated!

No, it is something within the mame.ini of MAME.  'mouse 1' is the easiest way, although nowadays 'trackball_device mouse', 'dial_device mouse' etc. is preferred.

Holy SHEET!  MINWAH LIVES!

The problem is that your trackball is not your MOUSE DEVICE 0.   I assume you also have a mouse hooked up?   My cabinet is the same way.   My MOUSE is device 0 and my spinner is device 1.   I had to go in to the MAME config menu (TAB) and configure my "PADDLE" and my "DIAL" as device 1 (instead of 0).

Make sure you modify MAME.INI to read "MOUSE      1".

I am probably a bit out of date with stuff...so is my trackball_device etc advice wrong?  I think it is correct, but you then just have to be careful of any mouse-device-specific input mappings.

Not a lot...except my todo list has got a hell of a lot bigger since checking the boards today!  :(  That'll teach me to have some time off....

No you're correct.  Sounds like he had to remap his mouse device inside mame.
