X-Arcade....w/trackball???
MAME nut:
I wasn't sure if I needed some type of interface between the USB trackball and the computer's USB jack??? :-\ :-\ :-\
I'm also not sure how to "program" the tracball to work on certain games...........
RayB:
Super newbie!
You just said it's a USB Trackball. U... S... B...
Therefore...... It must ALREADY have a cable to connect it to USB right?
AND If it was made for the PC, then golly, it must already work, no? USB trackballs get recognized as a mouse. No need to "program" the games.

A 3" arcade trackball will not fit in the little X-arcade. However, I have seen examples of USB mice hacked into the panel. Seems like there was an example here a number of months ago.
fredster:
The Xarcade looks pretty small to do that.
It's a hassle to rip that control unit out too. It's got a bunch of special wires in about 6 separate circuits.
I used it on my first mame machine, just the control, and the one I have just uses the PS/2.
