| Why do you have a trackball? |

Is it mostly for looks? Do you play games regularly that use them? I assume in mame it has support for the mouse although I haven't tried it yet. I bought one of the 2 1/4 trackballs and I'm wondering if I should even put it in. Right now my layout is 2 player, 7 buttons each. Based upon the way the cab is shaped I really can only put the trackball towards the back of the cp near the screen. This isn't ideal obviously, but if I put it toward the front, the buttons and joysticks would be way in the back. The only real use I see is just having a mouse to move around in windows if need be, so I suppose I will leave it in. You can see my first layout attempt here: |

I used the trackball as a mouse and use it to play GT. |

I use my trackball often for the following games. Missile Command Centipede Shuffle Shot World Class Bowling ThinkTanks (PC Game) Chicken Hunter (PC Game) I occasionally use it for Golden Tee. I also use my cabinet for digital video editing and DVD authoring so a mouse is a must. In addition, I actually find that my spinner works well when jogging a few frames forward or back. |

I put mine in to play games like crystal castles, ramparts and marble madness. --- Quote from: Stewie on February 07, 2006, 01:23:08 pm ---I used the trackball as a mouse. --- End quote --- I also find it handy as a mouse, for tinkering with setups etc... |

Golden Tee and Shuuz are great games for a group to play together. They justify the expense of the trackball to me. |
