 :-[ Way too expensive for a stainless trackball looking at $120+ two stainless steel track ball  :'( Way out of what I wanted to spend on TB!!!

Does anyone know if I can hook up light guns to an Opi-Wiz, including a TB & spinner?

Aimtraks connect via USB interface so they don't need connecting to the optiwiz. The only issue will be the amount of USB you have available.  You can have a powered USB Hub to control all these devices, but you should not plug/unplug devices as this can mess up the way that their ID's are recognised and then they won't work properly.

Just got my 2 trackballs and then realized that they have a PS2 connector :banghead: I need my PS2 connector for the keywiz. Anyone had had any trouble using them with a PS2 to USB connector then connected to a USB hub?

BTW: they are the 2-1/4" PS2 LED Illuminating PC/MAME Arcade Trackball got from Jammboards.

Thanks MM

Minimal is better in my opinion. For mame specific admin keys, just use a keyboard. You don't want nor need a player ---smurfing--- around with your ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. You can even add a USB port somewhere on the outside of your cabinet to make this easier.

So far, the current idea for my cabinet is to have:

1p
Pause
1p + Pause = Drop coin (via ipac shift function)
Hold 1p = Esc/exit (future feature of FrontEndHelper)

All mimicked for player 2 obviously. Actually, I might make holding 1p be a coin drop and holding pause be Esc/exit. I'm not sure. But you get the idea of how you can eliminate the need for a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- load of buttons now.
