FBAAfter searching and review a lot of information on the subject, I finally got my new CP working as I wanted. One of the biggest challenges I had was to get both the trackball and spinner working as I needed. There is a lot of information about setting up the controller(s) in Retropie but for me I could not get the spinner working.
The solution I finally came up with I thought I would share as other people hit this problem hopefully they will hit this post!
The answer was simple but took some trial and error to find it.
In Retroarch (from the quick menu) go back to the Retroarch main menu and select Settings->Input.
Configure port1 controls to Mouse (ball only) and Mouse Index to 2.
Then for any game requiring spinner input, via the Retroarch quick menu select Controls->Port1 Device
Type: Mouse (Ball only), Controls Mapped Port=1. For games requiring Trackball - Mapped Port=2.
