Well I have decided to just re-mount ALL the Hotrod's buttons on heavy oak pannel, and finally got around to ordering the mounting plate. By the way, is it just me or do trackball mame games usually suck? They feel all wrong! How do you make, say, Centepede fell 100% arcade accurate with the happs 3" trackball? Has somone made .cfg files for trackball games, or is it hit and miss?
: I put a happs trackball into a HotRod 'Classic' and even then I had to move one of the buttons over to make room for the thing. It BARELY fit.
: : Well, not to discourage you any, but I tried and failed, I ended up building a seperation control panel that houses the trackball and other controllers.
: : : I have a Hotrod SE, and a Happ controls trackball, it seems INSANELY hard to cut the right hole for the trackball, anyone have any advice? Also, the trackbal barely fits in the center, and even then I am going to need some kindof front covering for it!
