Mouse will not work when using advanced mame

[ace3093]

I donâ??t know if anyone will be able to help me but I switched over from using mame32 to advanced mame and now the mouse "trackball" is not recognized. I switched back to mame32 and it the mouse is recognized fine. I really want to use advanced mame and still be able to use my mouse "trackball". Does anyone know if there is any option I need to add on advanced mame to recognize a mouse?

Long time since I've used it.....But

Have a look in Advmame.rc and see if there is a device command for the mouse....

It should read device_mouse auto

Try that.....

The advmame.rc have that command...I have tried everything it had worked once but for some reason it no longer does.

If you had it working at one point, but now it doesn't, I would suggest making a new directory for AdvanceMAME and starting from scratch. You can point to the current rom location, so you don't need to have a duplicate rom set taking up space. It could be as simple as a rom specific config file (controller for example) problem. You could delete them, but I wouldn't recommend it until you try the new copy first. It's easy to delete things, it's harder to recreate them. I've learned that the hard way

I read in the docs that there are drivers required for mice?
