Trackball not working in Pinballx

[wdd1169]

Hello

I have an Ultimarc trackball, it works fine in MAME but when I open the games with Pinballx it won't do anything.  Anyone else have this problem?  Is there a trackball setting in Pinballx I am missing?

 

Thanks

Trackballs are generally treated as mice, so any inputs for mice may effect them.

OK thanks.  Is there a setting in pinballx, or do you mean pinballx is seeing two mice?  Like I said it works perfectly with mame but not in pinballx.

 

Thanks again

PinballX does not support trackballs by design. I am happy to look at supporting a trackball if you can convince why it would be good for the experience in PinballX as it does not even support a mouse right now. If you mean its not supported when launching MAME from PinballX I can think of no reason why it would not work but try adding -lightgun to your MAME command line. In older versions of MAME at least lightgun support needed to be specifically enabled with -lightgun but for games that use a trackball such as Marble Madness or Missile command I don't think it needs to be enabled but maybe -mouse?

Yes, when launching MAME from pinballx it wont work.  Will try command line when I get home.  Also have one glitch when I have Pinballx set to open with windows everything shows up on monitor #2.  Any ideas?

 

Thanks for your help, will report back.

The "-mouse" isn't recognized.  I enabled the trackball in the games within each game menu already.  Trackball works fine, just not when mame is launched through Pinballx.  Anyway, thanks for trying, will keep playing with it.
