Trackball Not Fully Working

[icee]

Ok im a newbie,just built a 4-player cabinet over the summer. All connections made via Ipac-4.

I have read other issues with people having trouble with their trackball. Trackball operates

in windows find with mouse clicks/selections. After running gameex, mouse pointer displays but

I can't make any selections with it within gameex. This would eliminate navigating with key board,

besides who wants that. I've tried the following:

1. adding -mouse to command line in mame options

2. added mouse = 1 in mame.ini file

I;m not sure what im overlooking but this is starting to be frustrating . Any help would be greatly

appreciated .

In the Input page of the GameEx config have you got 'Disable Mouse' set to "No I want to use the Mouse"

I had this problems on a friends GameEx setup. Unfortunately, I haven't taken the time to figure out why.

Symptoms are:

Mouse works in GameEx until you go into the mame list and then it stops working. Have to use the joystick to navigate.

Settings in GameEx are correct. "No, I want to use the mouse".

I haven't updated mine to the latest version to test if I would have the same issue. If I find out any more information, I will post back.

Can you also check to see if it affect other emulators menus?

Ok,I haven't totally figure it out but certain themes that I use behave similar. Sometimes no selections

can be made with mouse but pointer works as stated. I tried changing the themes to see which were fine.

I can't remember offhand which ones did this b/c im away right but it was just a handful. One crashed gameex

continuously. Otherwise my trackball function function fully with making sure that "no, I want to use the mouse" setting

as others mentioned in the post(this was always set by the way).I'm wondering if anyone has had any trouble with certain themes and their trackball not being fully functional. Either way im happy now that i can start enjoying by cab. Thanks for the responses.

Brian, I don't have the ability to test that GameEx install as my neighbor has moved away. But, he is using a different theme than I am. I think I remember which one it was so I will test further later tonight. After reading icee's post, it does seem like it is probably a particular theme issue, though.

Thanks.
