Thank you! I had actually tried that before and it didn't seem like it worked but I gave it another try and it seems to be a workaround. I was initially testing the Pause screen and maybe didn't notice it actually paused. Turns out I needed to set that to force display for that to work too. Strange it still thinks I'm entering Left Shift in Big Box for that key but unless you want some logs or something for analysis I don't think we need to spend more time on this Appreciate the quick response and all the work you do for the community! Thanks again

Hi everyone, recently started a rebuild from scratch of my Launchbox cab and running into a strange issue I can't figure out or find any similar posts for. Basically I have a newer X-Arcade tankstick with the extra red button, I want to set that button as the Hold Key in Big Box. That key is programmed as the middle mouse button (M3) by X-Arcade and cannot be changed. I have a simple AHK script to translate the middle mouse button to the 'V' key, which works outside of Big Box. If I open Notepad with the script running and press the red button, it inputs as 'V'. However when I go to Big Box and try to set it as the Hold Key, it keeps entering it as 'LeftShift'. I've confirmed it is still entering as V outside of Windows at the same time. I had this working in my previous build and had the script set as a Startup App in Launchbox but I get the same issue that way too. Also tried copying it to the Windows 'Startup' folder but no luck there either. It seems to work fine in Retroarch and I can map the RA hotkey to the red button as 'V'. If I try to enter it without the AHK script it doesn't register anything being pressed, which I think was normal behavior in the previous working install which is why I needed the AHK script.

Soo it looks like it was creating the .ini files for almost the trackball games in 2 directories. One set had the mouse core input setting enabled and one didn't. Once I updated the set that didn't it seems to work now. Can close the thread.

Hi all, MAME trackball works when launching MAME through MAMEUI, but not when launching through Launchbox or Big Box. I've copied mame.ini from the \ini folder to the root mame folder and made sure mouse is enabled in Big Box. Also made sure trackball is set to 'mouse' in mame.ini. Using an X-Arcade tankstick if that matters. Also tried resetting the controls by renaming the ini files in both locations and restarting MAME, but it created them with the same controls I had before (?). I did search the forums but didn't find anything beyond copying the ini file to the root folder. Thanks
