Title: Where do I find a trackballl?
Post by: msloan on October 08, 2013, 06:44:41 pm

I plan to buy a "Game Wizard Arcade Game Board with 508 Games"

I got the manual from the supplier, and the trackball connection seems to have 10 pins...

Never having done his before, where in Canada or the USA can I find a suitable trackball?

Most multiboards are absolute garbage. Don't be an early adopter, wait until some reviews roll in before purchasing something only to find out later that it frameskips like crazy and has bad sound.

For just a bit more $$ you can have an Arcade SD which there are tons of reviews on. I have played one and its fantastic.
