another newbie needs controller setup advice.
RayB:
People need to stop thinking of trackballs as reproductions of the mouse! Your buttons need not be tightly packed to the trackball. You could define the top 3 buttons next to either joystick as your mouse buttons.

Hey Ray, does this mean that I would run two wires from a button, one to the I-PAC SW1 and one to the OPTI-PAC (L-Mouse Click), or is this a software configuration thing?

Could be done either way. For MAME only use, I would just wire it to the opti-pac and set MAME to use mouse clicks for P1. If you will be playing PC games as well, you might want to run multiple wires as you suggest.

Not sure how they encode their buttons.... but I did not put any seperate mouse buttons on my panel. I wired up two buttons on the Player 2 side as normal buttons AND mouse buttons. You will be using those buttons as either one or the other... not both. Doing this makes the panel look a lot less cluttered as well.

Thanx for the info. So how does it work, do I just send them the grid I posted? I put everything in my shopping card and went almost to the end of 'checkout' and still didn't see anything for alternet configurations. I sent them my first template and never heard back from them. I guess they're busy from the sale. How is it usually done?
With the trackball they use, it automatically comes with the mouse buttons (L,L,R), That's how they have it from Happ's. I don't mind, in fact I think I like the extras.....as long as they don't get in the way (more buttons to do a light mod on)........Also now that guy has the blue illiminated balltop joysticks......IT'S ON!
As far as centipede, millipede and missle command, if the most popular trackball games have the buttons on the left, why do most of the controller manufacturers put them on the right?

Just in case anyone hasn't seen the new joysticks......
