well, any game that uses analog (the thumb stick) won't really work right... so yes  ;) crippled would sound about right.
RayB:
For 640x480 minimum resolution, you're looking at games no older than, mmmm maybe 2006. Although, CASUAL GAMES have supported 640x480 as their default resolution up until around 1 or 2 years ago. (By Casual games I mean the PopCap, Gamehouse, Mumbo Jumbo games)

Back to the LED on opaque buttons...

Just wanted to say this one other thing.

1) Use the same color LED for the button EXCEPT for Yellow... for that use a white light. Yellow LED on Yellow button looks orange.

2) You may want to try using regular LEDs on blue, red, and yellow, and use the 100ma Green LEds on the green buttons. I haven't tried that, but that might work well.

I have tried regular 20ma leds on opaque buttons and they all work very well with the green as the exception.

Ok I'm done now.

as for your trackball question, you can either use a router on top of the mdf to make the mounting plate sit flush with the top of the panel, or get a Utrak from ultimarc.  they are great trackballs and are designed to mount in a 3/4" panel without a mounting plate at all.  i love mine

1.  Aimtrak.  I've seem to read that aimtrak is the way to go for lightguns, but would like recoil on my gun.  Has anyone tried the aimtrak with a recoil gun?  If so, what gun would you recommend, and how easy/hard is it to configure the gun with the aimtrak electronics.

There is no support for recoil from the Aimtrak board itself so some kind of secondary circuit would be required.

I've got myself a couple of Happ recoil guns, gutted them and routed the USB and two wires for the 12v supply up the armored cable with the intention of setting up something to trigger the recoil solenoid whenever the trigger is pulled (best solution for me as I'm using mame, system32 and original PC games).
I've looked into setting something up whereby the 12v line is controlled by the trigger microswitch and is connected to a relay to control the low  (9v?) voltage that the aimtrak uses but I'm not entirely sure it would work. Also it would only release the solenoid and cause the "recoil" after the trigger was released so that would be kinda lame.

Hopefully someone else could shed a little light on it as a lightgun game without recoil is a little lacking to my mind.

Almost forgot - I'm using a separate power supply (off an old printer) to feed the recoil solenoids - I read somewhere that they put quite a strain on the supply and are quite nasty regarding noise.
