Hi Retro gamers, I need some help with a trackball, I'll try and be as detailed as I can. I have a quad controller with a trackball I put in, and I'm running Mameui64 V.180. Centipede works, Missile Command works, but none of the Golden Tee games work. I hit tab, clicked track analog X, clicked track analog Y, but it's not recognizing the trackball. The funny thing is, I can scroll up and down the tab menu options using the trackball as a mouse, but can't seem to assign it. I tried properties and chose multiple mice that doesn't work. I don't understand how Centipede and Missile command works with no trouble, but Golden Tee's a no go. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I'm going to give it a shot, I just found that Millipede doesn't work either, only Centipede and Missile Command work at this time.

Is mouse input set to "on" in the advanced menu for the GT games?
I didn't find that to be a setting choice at all in Golden Tee. I hit the TAB button and I get Input (general) or Input (this machine). So as I mentioned, Missile Command and Centipede work....Millipede isn't working and the Golden Tee's do not. I did a create config and set mouse and light gun to "1" and no luck there. I just don't get how when I hit the TAB button, I can scroll up & down the various options with the trackball. I have 3 buttons assigned to the trackball on my console like a 3 button mouse, and I can left click onto the options, but when I choose analog X or analog Y, when I move the trackball there's no detection.

OK everyone, I learned something new today. The problem is called......dumb ass. Actually, I have "ZERO" experience with trackball, I just acquired this quad controller and the trackball was SAVAGED, all wires cut, etc. Best thing was, I bought the controller for $20 bucks and it's worth $900. Anyway, so the problem was....??? before starting any game on MameUI64, go to properties and select "Controller Mapping" look at "Trackball Device" and make sure it is "NOT" on keyboard. Once I selected mouse.... problem was solved. I have to choose this setting for each trackball games after 1980.

Can you please post a picture of your trackball?
>> I bought the controller for $20 bucks and it's worth $900.
I gotta see what a $900 trackball looks like!
Was it attached to oh, I dunno, say, a Marble Man cabinet or something?
LOL, jk! Glad you got it working...

Pessimist: Oh, this can't get any worse!
Optimist: Yes, it can!

Sorry, my bad Billy, what I got was an Ultimate Arc Quad Controller for $20.00 and it retails for $899.99 at Northcoast Custom Arcades... here's the link for the controller https://www.mameroom.com/webstore.asp?productid=QUADCONTROLLER&category=157 . What it had was a Suzo Happ 3" Orange Trackball, but the previous owner hacked it up. I wanted to go with an Illuminated trackball as a replacement, but Suzo Happ wanted $151.35 plus shipping. So I found one on Ebay for $89.90 plus.....another $23.50 for the power supply. Overall it works great, I'll try and post pics. It was identical to the Suzo Happ 3" Illuminated trackball, the difference was the wiring colors. On my trackball, White is left button Mouse, Red is middle button, Green is Right button.
