Title: X68000 Trackball?
Post by: dos on March 26, 2014, 04:30:27 PM
It says here (http://www7.ocn.ne.jp/~debiddo/mygames.htm) that some games like Syvalion support a trackball. Are there trackballs specifically made for the X68K that plug into the mouse port? I don't have a mouse for my setup so I can't test it with a mouse but I'm wondering if the X68K trackball is something that connects to the joystick port or mouse port, and if something like the Master System trackball or an Amiga/Atari ST/etc trackball can be used?

The original X68000 mouse was a trackball.  See below.  =)

Oh neat so that rounded part up top can be used like a trackball? Does it work as a normal mouse as well? I was more wondering about this sort of trackball though:

Just wondering if there are any known "real" trackballs compatible with the x68k.
