Title: Mouse/Trackball cursor/issues when launching from AM
Post by: postalp123 on July 09, 2021, 01:28:26 PM

Running 2.6.1 on a Pi4.

I noticed whenever I play any MAME core that there is a black "X" cursor that the trackball moves about the screen instead of being recognized by MAME. Note that this does not happen when I launch from Emulation Station, only Attract Mode.

Relevant cfg info:

maybe "non-blocking-mode" works. Here (http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=3771.msg25988#msg25988)

Unfortunately Non-Blocking-Mode-Wait 1-5 and/or Res-Fix did not correct the situation.

Thanks for your response

please check, how emulation station starts mame games (emulator, cores, parameters).
please adopt this settings to AM.
