Alrighty! Update! So my issue is fixed and I didn't want you to feel left out, because I've been there. Check this link: and fast forward to about 6:30 and pay special attention to what he's doing. My spinner is now working properly and that fact it wasn't was all my fault. I hooked the pins to the USB board adapter wrong. I was on the bottom row. I originally put it together about 2 months ago, and it took me about 2 months to finish my cabinet before I could of course try everything. Well, so much time had passed I actually forgot that I even hooked the 2 together. I actually figured it came that way. Sadly, no. It was my fault and a very easy fix. I just pulled the pin out of the board and put them correctly back. When I did, I turned the spintrak and viola! It now works. Try this. Watch that video from AT LEAST 6:30 on, and try it. If it works, get your smile on.

Yes. I am. I just finished building a 4 player arcade, bought big box and I've been learning as I go. I'm at the point where I'm trying to get my system to register my Ultimarc Spintrak. Everything else is working great. As I said, I'm using an ultimarc spintrak (as well as ultimarc trackball - trackball works perfect). I'm done all the things you've mentioned in mame.ini. I've got the USB version of it. Meaning all I have to do is plug it in. You would think anyway. What I have noticed is that when I'm in windows. I can control the mouse icon with my keyboard, my trackball, but not my spinner. My understanding is that the spintrak is registered as a mouse. When I unplugged my spintrak and plugged it back in, windows made the connection sound and I watched it add it to the list of mice on device manager. Sooo windows sees it, but it isn't controlling my mouse icon, and it's certainly not registering any movement in mame. We've got like the exact same situation going on lol
