Looking for Trackball Help...

[juteasl]

I have a three button 3" trackball that has PS2, red, yellow, green, and black cables attached to it.  I can not find the paper that came with it listing which wire is which button (mouse button 1, 2, 3).  Anyone have information they could provide to help me out?

I'm trying to wire up all of the buttons on my control panel and am stuck at this point.

Thank you for any/all information.

More than likely, black is ground.   By placing a jumper wire from the black wire soldier connection.. to each of the other colors soldier connections one at a time, you can note what does what.

 I of course do not take responsibility if somehow you fry your hardware however.

Are you for SURE that its a 3 button trackball? I have a HAPP trackball and it has the same wires attached to the ps2 cable....and it does not support any additional buttons. The buttons for games like Golden Tee on my build, just use button 1/2 from player 1's normal buttons. I wouldnt muck with those wires. I believe the black is ground, and the other wires are X/Y position related.

This info came from the description of the Happ Suzo 3 inch trackball.

Supports up to three buttons. (Three-button functionality will require the use of a driver that supports three buttons. The standard MS driver supports only two, and the MAC OS supports only one).
A wire harness is included which will connect to the all types of arcade pushbuttons
Includes both .187" and 250" terminal connectors for pushbuttons
