I think you can swap this in MAME itself using the TAB-AnALOG CONTROLS menu. and sett the revers option as required. I do this to make the games work properly with my spinner, ie swapping left and Right.
Have you considered mounting the trackball without the plastic case? I did just this and it takes WAY less space. I found cutting out the shape of the circuit board while leaving 4 corner tabs in a 3/4" contertop allowed me to mount the circuit board with just 3 little washers as spacers between it and the panel bottom and the tracball sits at a perfect height.

: OK. This may be a dumb question, but I am at the point that I need to start routing my control panel, and I am using a Crystal Trackball (standard PC trackball)in my cabinet. Anyhow, it would fit better if I could turn it upside down. By that I mean up and down are switched around, as well as right and left. Can this be swapped around via a frontend or MAME itself? If not, I will have to deal with it in the regular position... Thanks.
