I'm working on buying parts for a dedicated Golden tee fore cabinet. I'm gonna try to use an LCD so i can make it a slim custom cabinet. Will this converter work for what i want to do?http://www.arcademvs.com/ARCADE_ACESSERIOR.htm (http://www.arcademvs.com/ARCADE_ACESSERIOR.htm) its the one about a third of the way down labeled, Arcade RGBS CGA/EGA/YUV TO 2 VGA CONVERTER(NEW).
I have a x arcade tank stick with the trackball in he middle that i have been stripping parts from for about 2 years now. I plan on using the trackball from that for this GT Fore cab. I removed it and it is different than a normal trackball out of a dedicated cab. There are four cables coming out of the trackball housing that went to the ps2/usb jack. ill assume these are the movement controls of the ball which is what i need. Correct me if I'm wrong, but i need to attach a 4 pin molex connector to these wires, right? I know which one is the ground wire, its the black one then there is a red,green, and white wire also. How do know which wire goes where in the molex connector and ultimately to the PCB? Is there anything else I'm missing, overthinking, please chime in.
Thanks for any help.

If there is only four wires for the TB (both axes), which I think it does, it won't work unless the GT fore is a PC that takes a USB input (which I doubt). The xarcade TB is converting the info into USB data, and the arcade board won't understand it. If the x-arcade TB is anything like happs USB TB, you'll need to replace the sensor boards with arcade boards. I think the happs sensor board will NOT work; replacement betson/imperial boards probably will. The boards here (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=48855.0) should work if sanded down.
