Trackball not working

[KF2VS]

Hi everyone,

My son tried to play a trackball game and he told me it didnt work. I tried it and a few other and find that none of the trackball games work using the trackball itself. The joystick works for the games however. Do I have to enable the trackball in Mame or GameEx? If so, how do you do this. I've looked through the options in Mame and nothing jumps out at me. The trackball does work as a mouse with no problem.

Thanks for the help

Windows sees the trackball as a mouse. The first question .... are you able to use the trackball to move your mouse pointer around on the Windows desktop?

Yes, I can use the trackball to move the pointer around on the windows desktop. This would indiciate that at least the trackball is working correctly

I use Mame32 and hopefully you use a GUI version as well.

Open Mame - default game options - controllers tab - click enable mouse input

Do I open Mame directly from windows explorer? I use Mame32 but through the GameEx FE. The only options I know of are using the Tab key once in an actual game to change different settings.

Yes just click on the mame32.exe from within windows or windows explorer, and then you can change the settings, like mentioned above

That worked, thanks
