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

thanks for the reply e-mail me some pics if and when it works show me everything if you can

will do..

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!
