Mini-pac - configuring left and right mouse buttons for extra functions?
ahofle:
Just start up a game and press tab, then go to 'input (general)'. Then select 'user interface' and you'll see the mapping for Pause in there as well as 'UI Cancel'.
Just thought I'd mention in case you weren't aware that you can also use the minipac's "shift" mode to press P, ESC, or Enter (and several other common MAME 'admin' keys):

many thanks, I'll give it a go - but i do want to try and find a way of doing a permanent fix, presumably I may need to do this for each game. Was going to use shift for some of the less common ones (like reset game), but wanted pause and exit game as non shift keys.

I hard-wired the left mouse from the mini-pac to the 1P credit button (5). So in Windows I'm pressing 5 and Left click. I haven't had any problems using it sparingly. I usually just single click to select and then press enter (using a shifted key) to launch, just to cut back on the extraneous key presses, but I probably don't have to. There is a beep from windows every time though.

You'll only have to do it once, not for each game.
Although I think the best solution is to use the shifted Minipac keys personally unless you are set on having dedicated admin buttons.

All sorted! Thanks for all your help. Had to add 'trackball_device mouse' into my mame command line, as the mouse buttons weren't being picked up on the config menu. My two admin buttons are now left and right mouse buttons under windows, and pause and exit game when in a game! I've also used the shift function to add game reset and page up and page down to speed going through the menu system.
Now all works perfectly (apart from the trackball sticking a lot which is another story!)
Many thanks,
Ryguy
