Clarification on multiple trackballs...

Well Fed Games:
So I have a gutted Millipede cocktail I might MAME into a "multi" pede... if I have two trackballs, and an opti-pac, will I be able to play 2 players appropriately (p2 disabled when p1 is playing and vice versa)?
millercentral:
Opti-Pac can support two trackballs (and two spinners) connected simultaneously, no need to disable them, mame will recognize them independently. I have two trackballs in my 3-sided cokctail and they work great together...
Well Fed Games:
Thanks for the confirmation!  :cheers:

Looks like it should work fine  :)

Thanks, I checked the site but wasn't sure how windows would handle two mouse devices (if it would sum the input into one, etc.- I was looking into using trackballs for a homebrew game but the game dev forums said 2 mice were a no-go). But I guess if it did combine the input no one would buy the optipac!  ;D
