Does anyone know where I can find the pinout for a Happ-style 2 1/4" trackball? It's got six pins and I think it's a standard connector for many games, I tried Happ's website but couldn't find any specifics and haven't really be able to get them anywhere. I'm trying to wire it to an ArcadeSD board.

The attached picture is what it looks like and seems to have the same connector:

I MAY have found it, here it is for future reference but I haven't tested it yet, so use at your own risk:

Molex Connector Wiring:

1 - Gnd (Black)
2 - +5v (red)
3 - Vclk (Yellow)
4 - Vdir (green)
5 - Hclk (blue)
6 - Hdir (brn)

Once you get your red- +5v, black ground, you can connect the other pair of wires from each board to your horizontal and vertical. Test it, if it goes the opposite way you just swap the 2 wires on the direction going the wrong way.
 
have the same control and I cant get it to be recognized.....by arcadeSD :(

I was just about to post a similar question. I have the same trackball and a 60-in-1 jamma. Can I use the wiring from the solder side of the jamma harness or do I have to use the Con 4 plug? Sorry to piggyback, just trying to keep the threads down.
