Why do you have a trackball?
hnugz:
Is it mostly for looks? Do you play games regularly that use them? I assume in mame it has support for the mouse although I haven't tried it yet.
I bought one of the 2 1/4 trackballs and I'm wondering if I should even put it in. Right now my layout is 2 player, 7 buttons each. Based upon the way the cab is shaped I really can only put the trackball towards the back of the cp near the screen. This isn't ideal obviously, but if I put it toward the front, the buttons and joysticks would be way in the back.
The only real use I see is just having a mouse to move around in windows if need be, so I suppose I will leave it in.
You can see my first layout attempt here:
GGKoul:
I used the trackball as a mouse and use it to play GT.
ErikRuud:
I use my trackball often for the following games.
Missile Command
Centipede
Shuffle Shot
World Class Bowling
ThinkTanks (PC Game)
Chicken Hunter (PC Game)
I occasionally use it for Golden Tee.
I also use my cabinet for digital video editing and DVD authoring so a mouse is a must. In addition, I actually find that my spinner works well when jogging a few frames forward or back.
Hurray Banana:
I put mine in to play games like crystal castles, ramparts and marble madness.

I also find it handy as a mouse, for tinkering with setups etc...

Golden Tee and Shuuz are great games for a group to play together. They justify the expense of the trackball to me.
