U-Track question for 3 sided Cocktail
« on: January 31, 2021, 08:14:34 pm »
Greetings!

I will try not bore you with too many details and hopefully I will give you enough relevant info...

I like that the U-track will mount in plywood without needing too much work and I don't want to have to build new control panels and change trackballs when/if I change to emulation.

My main question is, can the U-Track work with the icade 60 in 1 board in a Cocktail 2 player configuration, or is it not compatible ?  :dunno There is a set of headers for trackballs on the Jamma board that some of the elcheapo trackballs connect to...

I couldn't find an answer on my own  :banghead:

Thanks~

It appears the answer is no...

I contacted Ultamarc and asked if the U-trak would work with a 60 in 1 or if there was an adapter as I have seen for other Trackballs...

Its not possible to answer this without technical knowledge of the boards trackbell interface. The connector would need to be adapted.


The signals are active-low. This needs to match the input requirements of the board.
