Use one of the standard keyboard encoders for the stick and buttons, and then you can plug that and a PS2 trackball into one of these:

Max Shooter
SmartJoy Frag

yep


There is no way to get a USB mouse/trackball working on Xbox (unless it is through PS2 adapter), as there has been no software written that support it with drivers, so a device like these with a PS2 KB/Mouse/Trackball is the only way to go, if your interested in using em for Xbox.

I ordered the Max Shooter yesterday. It was rated best of the bunch at teamxbox.com, for those kinds of peripherals on Xbox, and it is also about $10 cheaper than the SmartJoy Frag.

I have seen many reports of it working excellently with Xbox games, but when I get mine in a few days, I will report on how well it performs with MAME on Xbox (Using a mouse for the test, before I shell out the $100 for a trackball, but I imagine the results will be close enough to gauge its usefulness).




mo1e:

mo1e:
