--- Quote from: syph007 on September 28, 2009, 11:30:39 am ---Thats correct, the TT2 spinner does 3 axis total, so you can use X for spinner, then y and z for trackball. Others have done this fine. Only catch if you care is that it does not do mouse buttons. --- End quote --- Actually, the TT2 interface does do mouse buttons just fine (3, in fact). Also, a trackball can be connected to it by putting the spinner on Z, leaving X and Y for the trackball. However, IIRC, recent versions of MAME no longer fix the Z issue imposed by Windows, so this is not very convenient (need to patch, or use an earlier version of MAME.) A better bet would be to get a TB like the Electric-ICE-T, which also has it's own interface (plug and go). MAME will differentiate the two. You'll also have a high-power RGB lighting unit and better resolution than a stock TB, not to mention an additional 3 mouse buttons under MAME. RandyT |

When I looked last it didnt say that. |
