r added a TurboTwist 2 with Energy Storage Cylinder and added another

Hey im doing something similar and I am having issues with setting up the track ball. as it looks like you picked up the same amazon special one I did may I ask what ps/2 to usb adaptor you ended up using? the one I first picked up (perixx something or other) doesn't play nice with mame 2003 or 2010.

anyway looks good

WOW looks great nice job.

Do you have knuckles left after using that trackball? Looks so close to the screen.

Any plans in the future to put a plexi cover over top of the control panel ? There are reports of the wear and tear of the graphics overtime from use. Great build with the trackball and spinner. I myself wouldn't have bought an Arcade1up myself. Arcade1up is rumored to be in the process/planning for a V2 of the build. Fix all their mistakes they made from V1 from input of the customer base that purchased them and have had problems with them. They are even sending out free plexi to customers to cover the control panel. Look into it maybe and you can mod the plexi for your setup.

@noproblem1234 Here is the one I purchased from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IACID2C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_detailpage_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Have not had any issues so far.

@HurricaneFan That was my concern when I installed it, but surprisingly, not an issue. I have played Centipede, Crystal Castle, and some bowling games and so far it no issues. I want to get Golden Tee on here as well and that may cause some issue, as tend to use the trackball hard when going up, but with bowling I do the same and takes a little adjustment, but works well, IMHO.

@ByteThis Yea...I have one ordered from Arcade 1UP, as mine does show a little wear.

Cyborgbob

Hey, May I ask what theme you are using?

TheRealSmilebit

@Cyborgbob Nostalgic theme

Thanks so much

@TheRealSmilebit
Thanks for the link, that adaptor seems to work fine my track ball

fyi for others. right now the one in the following link seems to have issues with retropie: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B008DFVQFW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Again this might be fixable in software later on, or it might be that I got a dud I don't know, but if your track ball seems to work with windows but not retropie you may not be totally crazy

Can you post a link for the trackball that you used?

@noproblem1234 thank you for this - i bought this adapter and can not get it to work - https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000JPCAL8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

will try the monoprice one and hope it works

did it work right out of the box or did you guys have to change any settings ?

pumpkinpie

@TheRealSmilebit thanks for this - did that adapter work right out of the box or did you need to do some configuring ?

pumpkinpie

@TheRealSmilebit just wanted to say thanks again for giving this link to the adapter - i ordered the same one from amazon canada and it works !!

TheRealSmilebit

@StarsIntoDreams Here is the trackball:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075JH3S54/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Will also need this adaptor:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IACID2C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_detailpage_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If you do this, make sure you buy the adaptor above. Some adaptors will not work.

TheRealSmilebit

@pumpkinpie Yes...worked right out of the box.

TheRealSmilebit

@pumpkinpie No problem...glad it worked out.

@TheRealSmilebit the more I look at your project pics, the more I want one of those Arcade1Up cabs. Very nicely done!

@TheRealSmilebit interesting! What kind of dremel router bit did you use to drill the square hole for the trackball? I’d like to do install a trackball on my controller panel, but ist is so thin, I don’t want to mess it up.

Thanks
