[Solved] Trackball not working after 4.3 update
-
@caver01 said in Trackball not working after 4.3 update:
@dankcushions Do you mean like something from a log? I don't think there are any errors generated, just lost functionality. I'm happy to check somewhere if it helps.
The log will contain details about your mouse devices that is necessary for certain kinds of input debugging.
That said, I have just found out that there is about to be a substantial update to the RetroArch udev input driver. It doesn't have anything specific to do with your error, but it will be worth waiting a day or two to try with the new code.
I'll post here once that happens.

Where is the log that contains the relevant information? I am happy to grab it.
I am not getting any errors, but if the log is helpful given the fact that I have two mouse devices I will pull it and share.
-
I will wait it out as well, and keeping a close eye open on this board. If the trackball had worked in the past, I don't see why it wouldn't work again in the future. The thing is, what could had possibly caused it to stop working? Like change would effect it?
-
@majin-wamu from my perspective, recent changes to mouse inputs has the emulator ignoring all but a single mouse input. In past versions, if you moved ANY attached mouse device, they all would feed input to the emulator. Of course, that meant you could not do two separate mouse devices controlling different things at the same time (like no multiplayer Rampart which has 3 trackballs), but it did allow your trackball to work in games that required it while a set of spinners worked in another game.
-
@caver01 Well I guess their most recent change didn't really fix much sadly. I see what they tried to accomplish, but now I am out of luck. Could this mean there might be a chance it won't get fixed, due to their goal of not having multiple mice control the same thing?
-
again, the only way anything gets fixed is when people report bugs on github. the multiple mouse thing was absolutely required for proper functionality and the 'all mice are treated as player 1' thing wasn't desirable.
to record logs you need to start the game in verbose mode the runcommand, and then use ssh to access /dev/shm/runcommand.log - paste that here. thanks :)
-
@dankcushions Alright, I will do that. Where exactly should I post the issue on github?
-
@majin-wamu post it here first so we can take a look. with log files, i'm hoping the issue is obvious.
-
@dankcushions Before I start, you said in verbose mode. I am not sure if I know what that is. I have putty ready to go, are you telling me to run the game in a different way, other than selecting it off of the menu?
-
@majin-wamu you can launch with verbose logging via the runcommand (the menu that appears before a game is launched).
-
@dankcushions Oh, I actually disabled that menu screen. Alright I will enable it again and look for it. which option would it be under to launch with verbose?
-
@majin-wamu I think it's on the top level of the menu - "Launch with verbose logging"
-
@dankcushions Alright, sorry I took a long time, here is the log file (and it is a long one):

Here's my log file after running Blasteroids with lr-mame2003. It works with my trackball which is useless, as I also have spinners where I split XY amongst Player 1 and 2. They are non-responsive.
-
@caver01 So your trackball works? Is there maybe something I can do to my setup to make it work? Or is it because of the mini-pac I am using and the separate trackball?
-
@majin-wamu I don't think you are paying attention to my notes above. I have two mouse inputs. Only one works. For me, the one that works happens to be my trackball, but my spinners are not working. For you it's the opposite. It does not matter that mine happens to be a trackball and you don't have a spinner attached. It appears as though mame is only paying attention to one mouse device. It changed. It used to pay attention to all mouse devices at the same time.
-
@caver01 Yes, but I am asking why is it that at least one of your mouse inputs are working and none for me? My assumption has to do with something you did say earlier, which is the fact that the minipac has mouse inputs. The reason why I don't just plug my mouse into the minipac's prongs is because the way my trackball is wired to a harness. The wires don't match the prong inputs, they are mixed up, so I had to plug them into a usb that can handle the inputs, and then plug that into the pi. The only way to test my theory is to cut the wires, and reorganize them so they match the correct order, but I don't want to take that risk and permanently ruin the trackball but making a mistake.
-
@majin-wamu my theory is that your minipac might be working, but you are not plugged into it. Just like my Utrak is working, but my Turbo Twist spinner interface is not. It’s as if the emulator is using one of your mouse interfaces, but you don’t get to choose which one. For you, it’s not the one you are using for your trackball. For me, it’s not the one for my spinners.
In a previous version, all mouse devices worked at the same time. Not any more.
-
In a previous version, all mouse devices worked at the same time. Not any more.
correct.
this is a retroarch change. previously, you would only be able to have one abstracted mouse device, which would be an amalgamation of inputs from whatever mice you had connected to your system. want two player trackball games? bad news...
now thanks to the change, mice are treated exactly the same as controllers. each mouse is a treated as a seperate player. the problem @Majin-Wamu has is they have several mice connected, and the trackball will be currently assigned to player 2 or higher. you can change this through the menu.
i’ll go through the log and give more specific advice later.
