Set Up USB Trackball in Recalbox
-
Hi, I am new to Recalbox and I installed a USB trackball in my cabinet control panel. The system is running on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. I can access Recalbox through my home computer over the network using the IP address, but I do not see a way to add the trackball setup. I see: Index, Monitoring, Audio, Bios, etc., but I do not see where to add a command for a trackball. It probably needs to be set up as a mouse, but I do not know how. Any help is appreciated and please be courteous to the newbie.

By the way, I already did a search on this forum and found a whole lot of nothing to help. There is nothing about setting up a trackball with recalbox.

Hello,
I received yesterday a PS2 trackball + usb converter from Alieexpress.
I plugged on my 3b+.Worked from the first minute using MAME and appropriate games (Centiped, Rampart, etc), nothing to change in parameter. I should now take time to tweak sensibility for each game.

Hi @bernie-ran, may you share the links of your hardware with us ?
Thanx.
-
Yes, @Bernie-ran please share your set up. The trackball I bought has a built in usb encoder, but it does not work in MAME trackball games. Thanks.
-
Update: I managed to get several of the original trackball MAME games to work with the trackball. The problem was that my build has a few games that say they are MAME games, but are really just bad image copies, so the MAME protocols do not work. I deleted all of the bad copies and kept only the official MAME games.
So, I guess the next question is: Is it possible to make the trackball work for say an Atari 7800 version of Centipede, Millipede, Marble Madness, etc. ?

@ranpar1 not if those games were not designed for these kind of controller

BernardHello @Bernie-ran
I think you need to go Mame Menu via TAB or R2

Yes, thanks Acris.
I will do that once I’ve finished to clean my MAME romset (again) and sort out all the games I keep.
-
I used this one. Nothing fancy, but it already has USB plug so no need for extra encoders.
