trackball problem
markrvp:
So for the USB/PS2 trackballs have you guys tried hooking them up to the PS2 port instead of USB? If so, was it the same thing?
Also, did it gradually get worse or stop working all at once?
See here is my thinking:
-If neither trackball works at all then it's a computer/mame setting problem.
- If the USB trackball works sort-of and the New one doesn't work at all, then there is a problem with the Opti-pac or it is a connection problem between the trackball-Optipac or Optipac-computer.

Ok here is my whole story. First I had the USB/PS2 trackball hooked up to the ps2 port, it worked great for about 3 months. Now when I hit it fast it wont register until it slows down, it is not usable in golden tee anymore (it did not do this at first, i could hit it as hard as i wanted to and it would be fine). So after looking at most peoples threads i decided to change the trackball with a happ 3" golden tee trackball with an optipac connection. The new trackball did not fix the problem it does the same exact thing.

Have you adjusted the analog sensitivity in MAME?
boodroe:
yes, i tried that, the ball hit further in golden tee with less of a spin but it still doesnt work when hit hard, another observation is, windows' curser will not respond when hit to hard either, but mame seems to be worse.

That would seem to indicate it's a Windows problem. Please check the MOUSE control panel and see what speed your mouse is set to. Also check to make sure that "Enhance pinter precision" IS NOT checked.
