After configuring my computer and mame for the joystick, I was able to program the mouse buttons in mame then. How very, very odd...
One thing though, programming a mouse button to Pause didn't work very well. The game would pause when I hit the button, but then hitting the button again wouldn't resume. So, I just switched my coin button with it, and walla! Works great!
Thanks for your help :)
: Sorry for the above post if you want to use mouse buttons you can map them but only through the Joystick functions menu. Read link for more info.
: I know there is a post that says they are not used maybe because it automatically maps trackball and spinner game buttons to the same as player1 buttons instead of mouse buttons by default.

: : I remeber reading somewhere on this board that MAME does not support mouse buttons at all. That is why I didn't even put any on my cab since I run DOS. THe only reason I know of for mouse buttons is Windows and Windows based front ends. If you search the archives I'm sure you'll find a better explantion as to why they are not supported by MAME.

: : : I just ran into my first snag... I want to use my right mouse button as my Pause button in Mame... I thought I could merely solder a couple wires off my hacked trackball and run them to my Happs button on my control panel. That was the easy part. But how do I get Mame to recognize a mouse click instead of the letter 'p'?
: : : I do have the mouse enabled in the mame.ini file, so the ball itself works in games like centipede...
: : : Thanks!
