Konamito Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I have installed a trackball on my bartop arcade. It has a PS/2 connector and four wires (red, white, yellow and black). Black color is for ground and the other three are for the buttons. I wonder if I can use other buttons located in the control panel so I don't have to buy and install three new buttons on it (no much room for them). How do you map these buttons?

rebelmaveric19 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I think they are just left, horizontal disable, and right mouse buttons. I have them mounted on the front of my cab. You can't really map them to anything.

joeyjojojjjjjj Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 So I need to connect them in order to work with this trackball, right? You can use xpadder to emulate mouse clicks and map them to whatever buttons on your CP you want.
Tredog Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Depends on the game you are playing. Mame games I have the Red Fire button used with the trackball when needed (mapped through mame). On Popcap games, I used Xpadder to map the red fire button as a left click, but could use the dedicated mouse buttons as well.
