I guess. But since there is no need to throw it away either, I'd just keep it inside.
 
doing another project with this golf tee trackball. just trying to figure all the needed connections to repurpose thanks for the nice idea.

You have a multi for what?
 
Hi :

Yes confirming this. As I have a spare outrunners. I thought I may try to make a sonic out of this possibly at some point. Well I can’t find a comms module to hookup 2 outrunners pcb so hmmm.

Hi :

I see what you mean with the confusion lol.
Just reading so I gather we will have trouble finding the three main chips to create the I/o needed.
Well that’s a bummer, just ordered two pcb’s.


:rolleyes:

A bit of update on this project since my last post:

1) I got almost full artset:

2) I've had a plexy cover made for my board

3) I've got my hands on an Aero City trackball panel, that I installed in a Vega 9000DX Supergun case.

4) I have been working to make some kind of CPO for my mini-trackball controllers:

Awesome! Now that you have the panel, any chance you want to sell the converted trackball package?

Well, I definitly could, as I no longer use them; but I'm not sure you'd make a good deal. I'm in France and you'd pay quite a lot in shipping for these. And the funny thing is that I had to import the trackballs from the US because they are much easier to find there. And they are very easy to hack yourself. ;)

Also, keep in mind that it's definitly not arcade hardware. The rollers are not mounted on bearings so the ball stops spinning at the moment you stop touching it. Moreover, due to the size of the rollers and the encoding wheels, these are 3 times more responsive than actual Sega trackballs, so the gameplay is different. It's easier to run at full speed; but harder to walk at low speed. It's totally playable though, I have cleared the game several times with these.

And, my mini trackball controllers only work when plugged to this homemade adapter.

And the adapter would only plug on a System 16 IO board, and not the Sega System 32 IO (it would require more cable length). And of course I do not sell my IO board.

PM me if you are still interrested. ;)
 
I'm I'm gonna try my hand at a mame conversion.
Just ordered that same trackball off ebay.
