[RESOLVED] trackball problems:(

[qwan]

hi guys...

just built myself a cabinet.. 4p with trackball... getting things up and running slowly but surely.. am running gameex..

but cannot for the life of me get the trackball to work with mame!!

i am using mame 142b IIRC...

2 mini ipacs..

system uses windows xp...

and i am running gameex which i registered last week...

most games work good:).. bar the graphics heavy ones... need a faster pc really.. P3 celeron with 256 ram and crappy video card...

trackball now works fine in windows.... but will not work with mame... i have "slikstik and ipac" enabled in the setup along with the " no, i want to use the mouse" option...

have done a bit of research about adding to the mame.ini file mouse = 1 or something.... but..

i cant find any mame.ini file...!!

any ideas?!

id love to play centipede and golden tee!

help!

You have to tell MAME that you are using a mouse. Either add -mouse to the command line or set "mouse 1" in the ini file.

The mame.ini file which should be located in your MAME directory. This file is used to make settings in the file instead of from the command-line. This file can be created by using the following from command prompt:

mame.exe -cc

Or as bkenobi suggested, simply add that to MAME Options setting found in the Advance MAME Settings in the MAME Settings section of Setup Wizard.
