HELP - Trackball Soldering / Mouse Encoder - Hack Advice Needed! WITH PHOTOS
slapaham:
I've got my fingers crossed - I'll report back with whatever I find for other people's future reference!
I heard there were a few arcade classic released on the PSOne so I'm guessing this would function with those. I just wondered whether this worked in the same way as the PSOne mouse - and if it did what bearing that would have on it working - guess I'll find out when it arrives in the next few days.
They cost me next to nothing so I thought it was well worth giving it a go and it is probably hackable...

Or am I just mad for suggesting this!?

and then you can use one of these...
sorry - couldn't resist :P
Blanka:
Internally it probably looks like any mouse or trackball. Which is two wheels with gaps and two optic sensors. So either attach those sensors to an Optipac/Minipac or replace the optical sensors with those from a mouse and use the mouse as interface.
RetroGreg:
I have one of those trackballs. It only works with PlayStation games that support the PlayStation "Mouse". These games should have the mouse icon on the back of the CD case. There weren't that many, but the Williams Arcade collections did use it. It won't work in regualr games like the analog stick.

Sounds like he'll definitely need to break out the soldering iron and multimeter to get this working on a PC then.
