Hello!
I am making a arcade game (yes, the game itself) and I intend to make the cabinet too. I don't have much time (I intend to have it done by half of January).
I need a trackball, the game is of the same genre as arkanoid and breakout, but I need two axis (too hard to explain now), so I need a trackball instead of a spinner, but I have no idea of what sort of trackball I should get.
I also need buttons, the problem is the colours, I need 2 cyan buttons, 2 orange buttons, 2 green buttons and 2 magenta buttons... I am not finding someone that sell cyan buttons, and the places I found that has magenta buttons usually don't have orange or green...
And finally, I have no idea of what monitor to buy, the game simulate vector graphics using bitmap, it runs in a 800x600 resolution, and use very bright and saturated colors, although I am developing it on a LCD, the LCD seemly is too slow and also looks wrong (the subpixel alignment of LCD displays make the game look "sheared" in several places, as is common objects composed solely of red or blue), so I guess it needs to be a CRT, but other than that I have no idea of what monitor to use. Oh, the game runs at 60 Hz too...
Also, I don't intend to use Jamma, but how I make a computer understand arcade buttons with USB? I already noticed that trackballs are sold with USB, but buttons are microswitches...
