        @robthedude81 I second @edmaul69, trackball should work fine in 2003 for most stuff. I used to use AdvMAME for any trackball and spinner games, but thanks to updates by @dankcushions lr-mame2003 has great support. Now, you won’t be able to setup a three trackball cabinet for Rampart using 2003 (but you could in AdvMAME) but for many games, 2003 should work fine.

        Hearing your issues started after an update makes me a little nervous.

          Hello everyone. I made an account because of this issue, after I updated to Retropie 4.3, the trackball will not respond on any of my games in mame 2003. It worked fine before the update. If there isn't a solution, is there at least a way to downgrade back to 4.2?

                @caver01 I have already checked all of that. For trackballs it tells you to go through the menu. All those settings have been adjusted long ago, and I rechecked them to be sure, but now the trackball magically doesn't work. I am quite sad because the main game I play is centipede, and now the character doesn't move at all unless I move the joysticks.

                @jonnykesh is a new thread necessary? I thought my problem was the same as the topic suggests. What is the requested information?

                  Totally up to you, but resurrecting month old threads is usually not the way to get help.

                      @majin-wamu I wasn't being rude. Because things change so much even week to week in RetroPie, unless you are specifically involved a new thread is usually best

                        @jonnykesh I don't think you were being rude. I appreciate your help. Don't worry, I am not that sensitive. All advise is helpful.
