| betson ps2 trackball and Oscar spinner w/usb mouse interface |
| (1/1) |

Sorry if this has been asked and answered. I did search and couldn't find the answer. I currently have one of the imperial tballs with built in ps2 interface that sell regularly on ebay. I am planning on buying a model 3 w/usb interface from oscar. Will this work? Will they be seen as 1 mouse? I'll be running mame32 in Win 2k. Thanks in advance, chadius |

I have a imperial 3" TB (also from ebay, that comes with 3 arcade buttons) w/ a PS/2 connection and a USB spinner(hacked mouse) on my CP and both work just fine together in WinXP, no conflicts! So, basically there are 2 mice (one USB, the other PS/2) working fine together with no problems. Hope that answers your question :D |

That answers my most important question. That I CAN get it to work. I'm assuming that as far as windows is concerned they are 1 mouse? So there is a single mouse pointer and the spinner and tball both move it? Which then means in mame I need to be careful not to nudge the trackball when playing arkanoid? Thanks again, chadius |

Thanks again, chadius --- End quote --- Yes, there is only one pointer and both devices can move it. And yes, if you're little dork of a cousin/brother/whoever start spinning the trackball while your using the spinner, you will need to throw them out the window ;D. It'll just be 2 devices fighting for control, but it shouldn't cause any problems (ie crashes, BSOD) |
