Track and Field

Witchboard:

I didn't realize track and field was with a trackball.  I've only played it on my C64 when I was a kid and we used joysticks.  Until we broke them all, then my dad made a 2x4 with three buttons on it that we could slap.  Huh.. never realized my dad hacked a joystick to a CP until you just brought that up.   ;D

I think that there are two versions (in the arcades), trackball version and a button version.  I think that the button version was released first, and it's the only one I have seen in arcades.

I believe the trackball version was actually an aftermarket refit kit for the game. Trackball versions are not as sought after because they are considered to be too easy.

I'm a little confused.  Trackballs and light guns work in pretty much the same fassion when it comes to mame right?  Mame just thinks its a mouse if I'm not mistaken.
So I'm reading this post http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=16472 and I notice that there is talking about how you can use 2 act-labs tv light guns with mame (not analog mame) in winxp on a tv connected to a computer.  
Wouldn't that mean that two trackballs should work under mame on an xp machine?
If that's true, I may just have to rethink my cp designs...
