Mame control setting help please.
« on: April 22, 2008, 01:01:00 am »
I just got my cabinet up and running today!  ;D However, I can't seem to figure out how to adjust the settings in MAME so I can use my trackball.

Currently I'm using WinXP home edition with MAME 0.98b through MALA.

The trackball is plugged into the computer mouse port PS/2 so it should work just like a mouse. I know it works since I tested it on an older PC way back when that was running Win2000 and MAME32. I can't even get the mouse to work on trackball games at the moment.

Any guidance to getting me up and running with Centipede as soon as possible would be awesome! I'm dying to play it!@

Did you enable mouse in mame.ini?
So a leper walks into a bar and as he gets his beer, a finger falls off. The bartender who is serving him turns and pukes all over the place. The leper, feeling bad, says, "Was it my finger falling off?" The bartender turns to him and says, "No, it's the guy dipping chips into your back."
