Mini-pac - configuring left and right mouse buttons for extra functions?
ryguy:
Hi, I've used a mini-pac to wire up all my controls. I've got the usual buttons along with a trackball and two admin buttons. I've wired the admin buttons up to the left and right mouse button wires that come as part of the trackball connection. This has been useful to navigate through windows, but I cannot find a way to use the mini-pac programmer to recognise and assign these two buttons to admin functions as well e.g. pause the game and escape. It doesn't seem to recognise them at all.
I can wire them in as separate buttons as I have 2 spare wires, but then I lose the functionality of having the mouse buttons, which were useful.
Any ideas anybody?
Many thanks,

Hi m8,I have the same problem,although it doesn't affect me as i have enough connections for the other buttons also.
So my left and right mouse,does only that,and is not seen in mame.
have u not got any other connections left on the mini-pac.
If u plugged them in the sw buttons etc then they would work as pause etc.
But then u might loose the right click and left click in windows.
ryguy:
Yeah, I do have two connections left so can wire them up for pause, exit etc, it's just a pity losing the left/right mouse buttons, I was being greedy and wanted both!! There must be some way of doing it - although I suppose if I load immediately into a front end, I may not need the mouse buttons.
Cheers for helping though
ahofle:
So you want one button to simultaneously press the letter P on your keyboard and the left mouse button? Wouldn't that cause issues navigating around Windows anyway? For example in Explorer, pressing a letter scrolls the list to the first item starting with that letter.
You could always leave them as mouse buttons, and then go into MAME and change the default pause mapping to be 'mouse1' instead of 'P'.

That sounds ideal - that's what I'd like. Bit new to all of this, would that mean going into controls.ini and saying pause=mouse1 etc?
