Not sure if reviving this was the best thing to do, but the subject is exactly what I need.
I have a Global VR Arcade Classics cabinet that used a usblinx II (jamma) and converting it to use an ipac 2
I have connected everything and testing the buttons (all work great) just now onto the trackball. getting nothing from it.
The connection i have is pictured above. the red boards to a 4 pin molex (x2) and these go into a 6 pin connection.
These then went into the usblinx II
following the pinout diagram properly i rewired them appropriately into a dupont connector.
On the ipac 2 the dupont pinout says there are 2 5v pins.
I only have one connected as both 5v wires from the 2 red boards are connected together in the 6 pin connector.
is it a case of having two separate 5v pins into the ipac 2? or is it another reason why its not working?
EDIT -
I connected the separate 5v line, but still nothing, turns out the ipac 2 is set to xinput mode! the only thing now is figuring out how to have the controls act like an xbox controller (using back and start to exit) and have the trackball work like a mouse!
I needed to swap around the X and Y connections as they were wired in reverse for the usblinx
