Greetings,

I've decided I'm going to go with a dual-trackball set-up for my cabinet for simultaneous two-player trackball play. Here is my plan. Please let me know if you see any holes in it or have a better suggestion...

I'll have two PS/2 trackballs, both connected to a PI Electronics PS/2 port splitter, which then runs to my computer's PS/2 port. From there I plan to use AdvanceMame to seperate and use the two trackball's signals for two-player games (marble madness, etc etc)...

I'm also going to have a Hagstrom K72 encoder. Is there a good reason I should get the K72T and run the trackballs to that before they go to the computer? Is there any difference?

Thanks! - Cryo
