X-Arcade....w/trackball???

<< < (2/2)

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.
