HAPP Trackball
mwong168:
I had a quick question regarding the trackball I have pictured above. I just wanted to confirm that the "Monitor ->" is the direction I should mount it pointing the monitor. In the picture above it is pointing left but to mount on my control panel I would just rotate it clockwise to 12 o'clock right?
dirkomatic:
Just hook it up and try it before mounting...
BobA:
The monitor arrow is an indicator to orient the trackball properly. You can always change things ins software but trackballs are meant to be used with a specific orientation as the rollers work best that way.
waterlog:
Has anyone had any luck hooking this trackball (pictured above) to a hacked mouse? These are selling on eBay for $64 + $7 shipping. It's listed as a Happ Trackball for Golden Tee.
I hesitate because I see other sales that claim their trackballs work for MAME and they want a lot more. I figure it's a marketing ploy though.
Any thoughts?
saleem:
well they do work for mame but,with an hacked mouse mod i dont know.but,with ultimarc optipac they work and probably with minipac and other controller boards also.
i got a golden tee tracker ball for a mame cab project,i will use optipac (which i have) if my minipac is not capable
