      First of all thank you in advance for whatever assistance you may be able to provide. I have seen threads that have danced around my issue but none that have solved it. I have a raspberry pi4 cabinet with a trackball, spinner, two joysticks with 6 button setup each.

      I have been able to configure to get both the spinner and trackball working for the appropriate games however, when I try to add a dolphin bar to the mix for Lightgun games it negates the spinner and trackball functions. Alternatively, I can reconfigure to get the dolphin bar and Lightgun working by changing the mouse index codes within my Mame2003(0.78) cfg folder. (For the record the image build is Mame2003-plus). For example I've added code that automatically launches my spinner games with the following code: input_player1_mouse_index = "0". However, when this config works the trackball ceases to function and no matter what mouse index I choose within Retroarch the trackball will not respond. I have reverted back to having the trackball and spinner working as its my guess the dolphin bar is causing the issue. Either that or the Raspberry pi4 will only recognize 2 mouse devices at a time.

      Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. If additional information is needed I'm happy to provide.

      Thanks

      Aaron

          @mitu Thank you and I'm sorry for not following what was clearly written down. In the future I will make sure I list all that is needed. In this case I figured out the solution but do appreciate the beginnings of the sites help.

          Thanks - Aaron
