Hi there...
I'm giving some thought to relocating one of my arcadeshop boards (currently in a Pac cocktail) in to a new cabinet with a trackball. I know there are several trackball games that it supports, but also spinners, like Arkanoid and Liberator. So I'm wondering if anyone knows whether the spinner games would work with the trackball. I know you can play these games (barely) with a joystick, but I'm thinking they'd be at least a little more playable with a trackball. Has anyone tried this? If so, how well does it work? Do I need any special harnesses for the trackball to function on this board? I've had a couple of these boards (one horizontal, another vertical) for a long time, but they've been dedicated to the cabs they're in and I don't even remember how to reprogram them, let alone whether I need any special connections for trackball games.
Thanks for any input!
