I am totally new to the idea of building my own cabinet. I have done some research for controls, but come up empty when it comes to trackballs. What is the cheapest possible way to add an arcade type trackball to a MAME system? I'm really looking to play games along the lines of Centipede and Missile Command. Thanks |
| GameOver:
Ultimarc.com sells a 2.25" trackball for $35. That's the cheapest I've seen. I never tried e-bay but you might have some luck there. |

does it come with the parts to interface it? I've seen Happ trackballs on ebay go for $10, but they dont have anything to interface to the PC |
| GameOver:
Ohhhh ya want an interface too? :) Yeah, well that'll add another $40 new. I never shopped for used ones but you might find something on the BYOAC buy/sell/trade/forum. |

I purchased and installed a 2-1/4" trackball via PS2 which does away with the extra interface. I am disappointed with my trackball, in my opinion 2-1/4" just doesn't make the grade. If I could do it again I would install something bigger even if I had to order it from overseas. I say save the cash and get a decent size which will make game play more enjoyable. |
