      it might be worth trying with the linuxraw driver.

      I'll try that this evening.

      just to confirm from the other thread - you are using the latest nightly, yeah?

      I modified the script module from

      gitPullOrClone "$md_build" https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch.git v1.6.0
      
      

      to

      gitPullOrClone "$md_build" https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch.git
      
      

      and it seemed to build the latest without any errors. All the most recent additions are intact, such as mice indexes and menu transparency for XMB, but maybe there are additional considerations to allow the multiple mice to function.

        @mediamogul it might be worth asking on the github issue: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/4775

        also did you rebuild mame2003 from source? again it needs the latest version.

        i've been meaning to test this myself, just not got around to it :(

          I second posting on hithub assuming you've got latest mame2003 core.

            Certainly. After I exhaust any suggestions here, I'll be sure to post.

            I took for granted that it might not be necessary. I'll try that this evening as well. I take it that the same goes for all the other cores I'm testing with.

            Meanwhile Terminators are taking over the Earth, the duck population is wildly out of control and Aerosmith are prisoners of a senseless war. Where are your priorities man?

              i can't speak for the other cores, but certainly the latest RA and mame2003 SHOULD enable multiple mice to be used. previously it worked ok with one. i'm not sure about pointer vs absolute devices and changes around those in other corees - that's a bit of creep from what this github issue is about, but maybe that code has changed also.

                Tonight, I focused on lr-mame2003 running 'Terminator 2'. I compiled the latest 2003 nightly and tested both udev and linuxraw as the input drivers. All combinations came with the same results as last night. The two standard mice will not function at the same time, despite the 'mouse index' setting. Each mouse would operate on it's own, so long as it occupied the mouse0 assignment from the system.

                The same holds true with the dolphinBar, except it never registers movement, only clicks when it's occupying the mouse0 assignment from the system. I'll post to the github thread linked above sometime tomorrow, but I'll make sure to only mention the mouse index situation, as it looks like absolute coordinates will be a separate issue.

                  @mediamogul can you please post your /opt/home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch-core-options.cfg? specifically i'm checking to see that the mame2003-mouse_device setting is set to 'mouse' rather than pointer.

                  FYI it looks like they've closed the issue here: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/4775

                  but i'm not sure anyone tested it using pi + udev + raspbian, etc. you may have found a bug!

                    Ah nice, I forgot about that setting.

                    mame2003-mouse_device = "mouse"
                    

                    Would that affect the multiple mouse feature, or just the absolute coordinates?

                      it just makes sure that it listens for a mouse device (ie, standard USB mouse), and following these changes, multiple mice, in theory! it definitely works with one mouse.

                      BTW you need to make sure you're using a game that understands a mouse device. my test case was always centipede. i didn't test terminator 2 - best to stick with centipede IMO.

                      if you change the mouse_device to "pointer" mame2003 should understand any recognised absolute devices, but i believe previously the UDEV driver had difficulty with them. absolute devices aren't really covered in these changes AFAIK. best to leave those for the moment.

                        Shouldn't I be testing with a game that would support two mice, or do you just mean for testing pointer devices?

                          Above, it was thought that better support for pointer devices would come as a side-effect from the recent addition of multiple mouse support for RetroArch. This would have directly related to this thread, but since it isn't the case, it's probably best to continue this discussion here where it's not so off topic.

                            @BGallagherLA Hi there yes it's paired to the dolphin bar. Plugged into the usb of the pi3.
                            Sorry it's taken a long time to respond I have been off line so to speak

                                @masterful No, you have to go into Retropie settings and pair the Wiimote to your Pi's built-in Bluetooth, after plugging in the DolphinBar. If you did that, then I don't know... I have never had to calibrate anything in AdvMame 1.4 and it's very accurate (except for maybe one or two games, out of like 50).

                                  Also, in case anyone is interested, I put a video together a week or so ago, showing how my setup works on Lethal Enforcers and Operation Wolf -

                                    Ok that might help. I've been trying to install touchmote software and I don't think that's been helping me.
                                    I will pair it with the pi3 Bluetooth then try again.
                                    Just compiling a list of 5 games to try.
                                    Thanks for all the help

                                      @masterful Ah, yeah I don't know what that software is, but as long as you have these games in AdvMame 1.4, you dont have to calibrate anything, except mapping extra buttons on a few games like Operation Wolf, otherwise, trigger works automatically and crosshairs move right away. I have like 50 games that work in this setup, and you can see two that work in the video above, Lethal Enforcers and Operation Wolf. I can get you a full list of the games that work on my setup if you want.

                                        Same goes for AdvanceMAME 3.5 too.

                                          @BGallagherLA i too would love a full list. Any chance you could post your config/s for these games. I plan to use advmame only for these games with the dolphinbar so it would save me a lot of time.
