      RPI 3 model B
      RetroPie 4.0.2 + OpenELEC Multiboot from http://www.multibootpi.com/

      I got my Apple Magic Trackpad (bluetooth) working in RetroPie. It works with MAME, but it's too slow. I tried it with Missile Command and Centipede.

      I tried changing /boot/cmdline.txt by adding "usbhid.mousepoll=1" (and 2, and 3, and 4, etc) but it appears to have no effect on the trackpad. I think I'm doing this right, because I'm reasonably sure this affected a USB mouse when I connected it.

      I would love to get this working well, because it would be really cool to construct a controller box that included this trackpad.

      Any ideas of other things to try? Thanks.

          Yes, and it solved the issue! Thanks so much - I hadn't been to that menu yet.

          Woo hoo! :)
