Hey everyone I have one of those Electric Ice trackballs in my new mame cab. But I'm not sure what program to use to make it change color and apply different lighting effects? Please advise..thanks!!

I see that LEDblinky controls the buttons. Does it control the color for the trackball as well?

For the fancy lightshows that you see on many of the cabinets here, the trackball needs to be hooked up to some sort of controller like the LEDWIZ... and controlled with software.  If you just want to light it up, you can do something similar to what I did:
