Any reason why this two-trackball setup wouldn't work?
marioxb:
There is at least one sports game that uses 4 trackballs: Dunk Shot. I wonder if that's the only 4P simultanious trackball game??
Also, there are a few games that use 2 spinners, such as Blasteroids. (Maybe a version of Arkanoid? I know the Famicom version of Arkanioid II can use 2 spinners) Any games that use 3 or more spinners?

Yeah, I have a soft spot for Atari's (very 90s) Off The Wall and will likely put it on this cab w trackball control.

It's a damn shame Marble Madness 2 was never dumped and emulated in MAME.

Well MM2 uses Joysticks not trackballs anyway, and is basically terrible ;-)

Actually, the original prototypes had two trackballs. Then some more were released with joysticks. Ultimately they never went into full production. Not enough interest or something.
You can see one here: http://www.safestuff.com/marbleman.htm
Although given the simplicity of the games, I'm surprised it hasn't been recreated. If I knew how to program games, I'd take it on.
