I'll let you know soon. There was discussion on using a regular track ball but needing to invert something in order to play. I bought the little chip and a trackball, but I need the arcade stick with trigger and top button to get the project going. I am making an Outtrigger CP, but it's basically the same question. I guess I could try it on golf with just getting the trackball up. I will give it a go this weekend and let you know.



Everyone said it should work "in theory" LOL!





Oh, and you will need to get the naomi trackball I/O, which is why the CP costs so much I guess. My buddy game me an extra golf CP, but it had no trackball or buttons. It's all worth a shot, but you can't get the CP working on the system without the I/O that is hooked up to the virtua golf CP.









I AM BY NO MEANS AN EXPERT OBVIOUSLY!!! just going on what I was told and hope I got it right. I am sure someone will come in and correct me if a screwed something up. lol

pulled everything out today but am missing some parts to make the wiring setup.



If anyone else is reading....do you think the pinout on the X and Y boards on the trackballs will be the same?

Yes, as they both use the same optic PCB! ;)
