I picked up an X-Arcade 2-player controller real cheap. After some thought, I wish I could incorporate a trackball into it. SO.........is it possible to add one and tie it into the existing control wiring?? HELP.......... |

Hello, I am not an expert here, I don't think there is any way to tie into the existing controls. You would have to cut area for a trackball that would fit and then just run trackball wires (Ps/2, usb or whatever wires connect to optipac if you have one) out of x-arcade to your pc. The trackball is contolled independent of the x-arcade encoder. Hope that helps. |

I'm not sure if I understand.....are you saying that I could buy a USB trackball, cut it into the control panel, but connect it directly to the computers USB slot?? |

There is no way to make it work with the existing X-arcade wiring as it is totally the wrong kind of thing for that. |
