Connecting a trackball in my bartop arcade


Konamito

Recommended Posts

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?

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.

So I need to connect them in order to work with this trackball, right?

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.
