If thats correct then you can simply wire up the buttons to the trackball only. Then set mame to use those trackball mouse buttons as the default player 2's buttons.
The result will be that under mame those buttons will funtion as Player 2 buttons only and out of mame, they will function as regular Windows mouse buttons.
Is that what you are trying to do or am I totally off here? ???

that is exactly what i'm trying to do. i am able to get it to work after making changes in game, but when i go to another game, the controls reset.

is there something particular that I need to be doing to make sure it's saving?

I did this, but still the controls were not correct. I am using fastmame and mala. Is there something I can be doing to execute a saved .cfg each time I start a game? The default.cfg is not saving the way I want it to. :timebomb:

So basically they go back to their default configuration when you change to another game then go back to the first game? It shouldn't do that unless any files in your CFG folder are set to Read Only. But be sure to completely exit MAME before changing any attributes on the CFG files.
And if it still doesn't work, then maybe its that version of mame that has a problem. I'd try a different version.
