I was looking to purchase a unit for the same purpose as you (hacking). ;D Perhaps the "right" PS2/USB adapter will give you the 'USB functionality" you're looking for in the unit. Just a thought. ;) - John |

Mind you I'm sure I've got a handful somewhere, but I do have a finite supply. ark_ader: This is the jakks version and they've changed the design slightly. I'll have to post pics the next time I crack it open. The game is actually better as well. Mind you it's still golden tee and therefore it's just awful... but the graphics and gameplay are amazingly good considering it's a pnp. |

My bro has one of these ;D He never uses it for anything so I may pinch it of him. It's a shame you are not in the UK, I could supply you loads of usb and ps2 ball mice. Got a whole box of them sitting at work doing nothing except getting their cables all tangled together. I should put them somewhere for when nobody else can get them and profit >:D >:D |

Ok as promised... pics of the inside: Yeah I know the image is horrible, but you get the idea. I'm pretty sure that the trackball pcb is about the same and therefore should have the same pinouts, but you'll notice some differences. First off, the left button array is now part of the game pcb. This means that you'll have to rig-up some switches for those buttons. It isn't as bad as it sounds.... just grab a piece of perfboard, copy all the holes from the right button array and glue a bit of metal in the right spots for the button contacts. Secondly, the ribbon cable for the trackball is much shorter.... you'll probably have to add extra wire. The button pinouts are different as well.... the first wire is for thered, the middle wire is ground, and the last wire is the yellow button. This makes more sense actually. Sorry it took so long, but I was out of usb ball mice and shamefully had to order a couple. I'll confirm the pinouts and such after I complete the mouse hack. |
