Greetings - I am trying to build my own control panel to support several games (running on pc using MAME). One of the games I want the control panel to support is Missile Command. I already have an X-Arcade Tankstick, which has a trackball complete with a USB interface. However the trackball is only 3" and while it's nice, and the Tankstick works great (and they have great support) - I want a panel that has the exact same trackball (or at least the same size) as the original Missile Command. I have already purchased a set of fire buttons for my reproduction.
I don't mind having to do some assembly, but I am definitely not a hardware engineer!
So obviously I would prefer a unit that is already assembled and includes a usb interface for use on a pc.
If I have to buy a separate interface card and do some wiring/soldering - that is perfectly ok.
Can someone offer some links to places I might find such a thing?
Peace!
PS: I am in NY but obviously I don't care where I buy from! I just saw the sticky post mandating a location in all B/S/T posts! LOL
