Imperial Trackball From Ebay Problems
foosguy27:
Geez I should have used this forum a LONG time ago. Thanks for all of the wondeful ideas. Ummm, BTW, I am using MAME32 the version .59. I am still using this version, because it plays NBA jams and all other games at a higher speed than the newer MAME32 versions do. Anyway, onto the trackball again. I have a little device that converts a PS2 plug to a USB plug. Would you suggest plugging in the converter and putting it in the USB port? I am willing to try anything. Also, how would I go about adjusting the Sensistivity? Do I do this in MAME32 or somewhere in my computers Control Panel? I have a feeling that you are exactly right, that the mouse port cannot handle, what a trackball is intended to do. I will wait to try the USB thing after hearing some replies on here (hopefully). Also, is anyone else out there using one of these E-bay PS2 Imperial trackballs? How are they working for you? And what did you do to help make them work better? Again, any help is greatly appreciated.

The trackball sensitivity is under the Analog Controls menu. Start the game, press Tab, and go to Analog Controls.

I got an Imperial trackball and I like it. It wasn't from ebay (I bought it from Imperial) but it is the same unit. I have the ps2 type and had similiar problems as you. However all were cured by fiddling with the analog control setup. Runs like a champ when you get it tweaked in.

Try replacing the encoder wheels from 24 teeth to 36 teeth

There are pictures of the new encoders installed.

What settings did you settle upon, if you don't mind sharing...
I just had a maddening experience with shuuz because the sensitivity was all out of wack...
thanks!
