MAME Ultimarc issue

So, I'm still having issues with MAME. Something is overriding the MAME settings. I recently purchased a Ultimarc spinner. I configured it in MAME and when I select a game like Arkanoid the spinner works when I run MAME independently. When I try to launch the same game from GameEx it doesn't work. I ran the function logger and I've attached the log. I've also attached the debug from MAME.

Please attach copies of your gameex.ini and log.txt files from when the issue occurs. Thank you.

P.S. I split this to its own thread from your other thread regarding MAME artwork. Best to keep the issues separated.

Either via Setup Wizard under MAME Settings>Advanced MAME Settings> MAME Options or modifying the line in your gameex.ini by adding -mouse switch.

ADVANCEMAMEOptions=-device_video_output fullscreen -quiet -mouse -dir_rom "C:\Emulators\Mame32\roms"

Let us know if that resolves the issue. Thanks.

its in the setup wizard. Perhaps try a search for bypass or disclaimer. Search option in Setup Wizard

It was a feature that changed in an update. 6 months or so ago. If it was not the update it probably started occurring because another mouse was plugged in.

Can you attach a copy of your mame.ini file if you don't mind please or at least verify that both of these are set to 1 in the # CORE INPUT OPTIONS section:

mouse                     1

multimouse                1

If either shows as 0, please change to 1 then relaunch GameEx Arcade Edition and see if that helped. If not, THEN attach new copies of your gameex.ini and log.txt files. Thanks!

Out of ideas then to be honest. I see no reason why that would not work from GameEx but would from MAME.  Assuming that is the correct command line looks like you turned off bypass disclaimers and there is nothing else in it.

You did try a game that supports a spinner though right because 1941 does not?

American Speedway is a steering game. While some use a spinner with a wheel attached in home arcades, please try testing with a dedicated spinner game configured via MAME in game first (Tab). Arkanoid or Tempest stand out ad good test candidates.

Ok so i tested with Arkanoid 2 and the spinner worked. I tried Tempest, but that did not work. I don't know if it makes a difference, but I changed my MAME rom path to point to 1 directory instead of 2. I've attached the runitgame.bat

Would you mind running Arkanoid 2 again and attaching the runitgame.bat and log.txt files immediately following for comparison? Thanks.
