Ready to put Trackball into my cab, concerns/ questions

Pages: (1/2) > >>

Here is my cab




Here is a pic of the same cab modded  with the trackball where I want it.




It looks like he removed his coin slots to get the plate to mount, I do not want to do this, I want my coin slots.
What are my options here? I can give measurements if needed.

There are many trackballs with this layout




Would this trackball without the top plate work with my cab? I have never installed one before, The die hard cabinet is made of thick plastic btw, dont know if that matters or limits my options.

Lastly, What track ball / hook ups do I need to hook this into my cab, I seen the mouse hacks and such and thats creative and all but just want to buy the easiest setup possible, I do this for the games not the invention side.

This Might be my ticket right here... Looks like it would just mount like my joysticks do  from the top is this correct? And from the sounds of it I can just plug this straight in USB and MAME away..?

Where'd you get that mrserv0n?  Do you have a model #?

As long as there's room under the control panel for the coin slots and the trackball mech, you're fine.  Keep in mind that that trackball's mounting screws go in a diamond (N E S W) rather than a square (NW NE SE SW).   I think anyway...
