| Add Mouse buttons to U-Trak? |
| << < (3/3) |
| SephYuyX:
If youre building a new CP, and want to have both a trackball and spinner, I suggest getting both the UTrak and SpinTrak from Ultimarc, theyre both USB components, so no need for extra interfaces, and the the Spintrak allows mous buttons. So you can control the mose with utrak, and use the mouse buttons from spintrak. |

It all works off 1 USB cable and is identified as a mouse by Windows. I made the trackball buttons the bottom row of my Player 1 layout and just remapped MAME to use them instead of the defaults. --- End quote --- Is this the one you are talking about? http://www.happ.com/trackballs/56011300k.htm Then when you remap them in MAME, you can use them for any other button you wish? Thanks in advance. --- End quote --- Yes... They are identified as mouse buttons 1 though 3. From the tab menu, you just go into the key assignments and make those buttons do whichever function you want. In my case, with the buttons in the bottom row of a Street Fighter style layout, MAME's default buttons 4, 5 and 6 are now bound to mouse 1, 2 and 3. The one I got was different from your link. It was the complete ball with PS2/USB and 3 button harness. I got it from Tornado Terry for like 85 bucks a few years ago. Edit: Here it is. Don't buy from Happ though, the price is probably triple what you can get it for from one of the vendors in the For Sale forum or Tornado Terry. http://www.happ.com/trackballs/565600xx2.htm |

On the latest assembly batch of U-Traks we made a design change which reduces the number of required pins on the USB interface by one, thus freeing up two pins for use as mouse buttons. The change is to wire X and Y ground connections through one pin. We have not implemented this overall though as we still have some of the previous batch left. But if anyone wants to do this I can supply details of the wiring change and updated firmware. Note soldering is needed. Andy |
