*Update*

I ending up getting a nice 3" Happ trackball off ebay for about $20 ($10 before shipping!), so I'm pretty excited. I have no clue what I'm going to do with it, but I'm excited anyways :) - Don't know how I'm going to mount it or make it PC compatible, luckily you guys are here so I can ask you ;) - This should be fun. Thanks in advanced to anyone who can help me out.

Shabump. I'm up late again :)

Still looking for help on this, no idea how I'm going to hook this trackball up to my computer and get it working in MAME.

Hey, thanks! I was hoping it wouldn't be that hard :-[ - but I kinda figured it would be. I'm sure people here have had experience making their trackballs PC compatible. I don't necessarily want to turn it into a mouse though, I just want to use it with golden tee/bowling games mainly...so am I still looking to do what's on Link1 there? It goes through USB? What exactly is a "non-optical" mouse? Hopefully I have one laying around somewhere. Any help would be big, thanks again.

Don't suppose there's anyway I could hook it up without soldering?
