Ultimarc Trackball / Spinner - Mameui - My experience getting things working

Hi everyone, first post, wanted to share what I had to do to get my Ultimarc spinner / trackball working…. I have an OLD 20 year cab I built

using Lucid’s plans from back in the day…. Well, it is time for an upgrade…. Updated roms, software, hardware, and front end….  And now

some notes from that part of the adventure…. 
 

Like everyone here that has posted on this topic, the devices worked when launching Mameui on its own, or in windows, but not when going

through LB…  I followed different parts of different posts, and here were the things I did…

 

Copied mame.ini from INI folder to the main folder with the mameui executable, and renamed the old file mame-old.ini - NO LUCK

Edited mame.ini, and changed mouse & multimouse from 0 to 1, made sure paddle / dial / trackball / mouse were all set to mouse - NO LUCK

Deleted mame.ini, and dropped to a cmd prompt, did a mameui -cc, verified new mame.ini was created, adjusted settings - NO LUCK

Finally, deleted default.cfg in the CFG dir, along with some of the individual game cfg’s - BOOM, WORKS!

 

The LB MAME command line setting was left with the default, and I enabled mouse input in the Mameui executable…. I just progressed through

each step and tested…. Frustrating as heck sometimes….  All of the answers were here in the forums.  Don’t give up…
 

With that done, and tested, I’m moving on to LEDBlinky….

PS….  The machine I replaced was running Windows Vista!  LOL!
