Tiger-Heli:
Your ideas should work.

I would consider a different trackball and interface - maybe Betson, or Happ with a www.oscarcontrols.com mouse hack or an Opti-Pac, only b/c of cost.

My four way is separated from my player one. I have a total of five joysticks. I also already bought the happs usb trackball, I got it for 89.99 on ebay.

So what about the fire buttons for this setup? Can i just use the three connected to my USB Trackball?

Yep, no problem, as long as you tell MAME to use the mouse buttons for the games you want to use the Trackball buttons with.

123
4XX

Sure as long as that works (comfort) for you.

Remember there are only a handful of 4-button NG games.  The majority were 3-button and could be played like any other classic game.

You could also use

2 3 4
1 X X

for those, or many people prefer a square (think Tekkan) config like

1 2 X
3 4 X

or

3 4 X
1 2 X

Whatever works for you is fine.
