There doesn't seem to be anything special about the devices - I see you only have 1 gamepad (which is considered by mame2000), but there are also a few keyboard and mice attached. Barring any permission problems (unlikely), I don't see why RetroArch excludes them - might be something to do with the core ? Can you try running with Mame2003 or other RetroArch core (FBAlpha) to see if this changes anything ?

@ESMITH1120 You're right, this isn't saved with the Core input remapping. I've tested a few other options and I didn't find the right RA override to save this per-game. However, you can use the mechanism implemented by RetroPie (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Configuration/#custom-retroarch-override-examples) and create a ROM_full_name.cfg file alongside the ROM containing the configuration you need, i.e. input_player1_mouse_index = 1 where 1 is the mouse index that's suited for the game. If you have the same index for all games in a system(arcade, fba, etc), then you can add this configuration in the system's configuration file (/opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg, etc.) as detailed in the link above.

2nd Advanded mame it works so much better with spinners. actually advanced mame is newer than Advanced mame 1.4 its 3.9.

Hi all, Found a solution. Under custom controls found Joy1 Fire/left mouse button. Thanks go to someone on the WHD load Facebook group. Dwarfboysim

@WilsonB Update... Fixed it by changing default to hatari-use-hatai-cfg Sudo nano emulators.cfg default = "hatari-use-hatai-cfg"

@Speerdo said in Mouse Not Detected By Games: Post links to Download Sites and/or BIOS/ROMS/Game Images (including mentioning places to download from) Feels to me like the image you linked probably included some, or i have no fucking idea why you would download it instead of the official image.

@hhromic said in mouse as a Zapper lr-fceumm RPi 3 b+: sudo ./retropie_packages.sh retroarch clean # to leave all clean again Hi, Thank you very much for this, I can now at least use my Wireless KB/Mouse with games such as Missle Command, but I cannot seem to get retroarch to use a different mouse #index and it doesn't matter what I chose in retroarch, once I launch the game it's only the KB's Mouse that works. Many Thanks, Paul *** Update, it works I just rebooted without the Wireless KB Controller in place and it all just worked ***

Hi! Updating to 2.21 (update via source) solved the problem -- thanks! I could even delete the "custom" configurations for the games I tried before, Amiberry now sets port 0 to mouse and port 1 to joystick all the time -- thank you! Now, everything in Amiberry works fine for me, there's no lag in games, the graphics look good, the loading times are fine... Just one thing is broken -- the sound, see https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/19528/broken-amiberry-sound . Maybe someone can help me out there, too?= Thanks!

I highly recommend splurging for a i-pac when setting up controls. I have a 2 player 6 button joystick setup, 2 start and coin buttons, and 4 misc button (exit emulator, pause, rewind, and config menu).

I was able to reach out to U-HID support and confirm that that spinners are not being recognized as mouse devices in Linux, there for this feature on the U-HID device is not available to use in retropie :( All functionality works as expected on Windows platform.

@albecacif great to hear! thanks for testing and confirming the patch is working for you.

Switching to AdvanceMAME resolved this issue.

@mediamogul got it working. i think it sees my dolphinbar as 4 mice. so i needed mouse index 4 for my regular mouse. thank you for your help.

Actually, I've discovered that Retropie doesnt cause the problem, not being in Pixel causes the problem. If I run Drastic as root from pixel, then it works fine, however this requires use of a keyboard for me which I would rather avoid.

@mitu Thank you, I will definitely look into this and test it out this weekend. I apologize for not replying sooner, I have not been getting site notifications for some odd reason.

Look for the .rc file at /opt/retropie/configs/mame-advmame But be careful. Changing the .rc file is tricky and a can result in a failure to boot into advmame.
