Is it worth getting 2 spinners???
KenToad:
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 =]
