I still love "Off The Wall," the Pong/Breakout clone.

Check out this sweet bartop from KLOV.

wow, thanks for the quick replys guys.

I see what you mean about the tornados onboard controller.

Another question then....
 
Is it feasable to have a happ track ball running as a ps2 mouse (with 3 buttons) off the KT72-T, and at the same time have 2 tornado's running as 2 usb mice? or maybe even as a single usb mouse, one spinner as x-axis one spinner as y-axis? (Im planning to use a windows xp os)

basically im just trying to understand how best to hook up the trackball and spinners to work at the same time as seamlessly as possible.

thanks again =]

I've never used a Hagerstrom product, so I can't say with 100% certainty, but I don't see why you couldn't run your KE-72T alongside as many mouse hacks as you like.  You'll shouldn't ever be using them all at once, so conflicts shouldn't be a problem. 

It is possible to get 2 players with spinners working under XP.  How hard it is may vary depending on which MAME build you use.  I am not the guy to answer MAME build questions, though.  I do remember that UncleT had some difficulty but finally got it worked out when using NoNameMAME, look here:

cheers, you guys have given me some real food for thought.

I think the best way forward is for me to experiment using a ps2 mouse, and 1 or more more usb mouse plugged into my system at the same time. Its a half decent way of checking how easy it would be to set up mame to read inputs from multiple mice (or spinners + trackballs that are pretending to be mice).

Ill let you know how i get on, and i will post some pics of my prototype cp once its seen some testing =]
