Title: Happ's trackball to USB converter
Post by: botez on August 06, 2002, 06:16:40 pm

Has anyone tried to use one of these to get around the single-trackball issue in windows XP.  I'm just wondering if it's worth the effort/cost.  Thanks.

The problem isn't the trackball or USB or serial.  The problem is the way XP handles mice.  The way around the XP problem would be to have Mame (or some driver that could communicate with Mame) read from the devices directly.
