Note that this list has games that are trackball or spinner, but can also include games like tron which would be spinner+joystick...[edit:] This list also contains driving games, since steering wheel = dial.

The biggest problem is that MAME typically describes trackball games as joy8way, so there is going to be a lot of missing entries if controls.dat hasn't described them properly.  There are folks who are trying to get controls.dat updated, as it's missing nearly 1/2 of the games that mame now supports.  Controls.dat is falling way behind.
