ArcadeSD trackball and joystick with cocktail question
I asked this in the arcadeSd thread but got no response so I'll try its own thread.
I have homebrew mame cocktail cabinet with a dead computer so i decided to use the arcadeSD instead of mame based on all of the rave reviews. The exisitng control panel currently has a joystick and a trackball for each players control panel. Can the arcadeSD suppor this configuation in cocktail mode?
It truns outs my existing trackballs are ultimarc from about 7-8 years ago and they don't have the 74HC14 chip so they didn't work as is. Before I buy two new trackballs I want to make sure the arcadeSD can be configured to use a trackball and joystick for each player in ockctail mode.
It looks like for the upright mode you would wire player 1's trackball to the player 2 joystick inputs. Would you wire it simarily for a cocktail? Anyone else use it in a simialr configuration or do I have to choose between joystick only or trackball only for cocktail mode?
Thanks
Brian
