MY X-ARCADE™ TRACKBALL MOVES ERRATICALLY OR
STICKS, WHAT CAN I DO?
Your X-Arcade™ Trackball may need cleaned. See page 14 of this manual for details.
MY X-ARCADE™ TRACKBALL WON'T MOVE LEFT OR
RIGHT, WHAT'S GOING ON?
The button on the back of the X-Arcade™ Trackball disables left and right movement when it is
pressed, be sure you are not holding it against something when you are playing.
MY X-ARCADE™ TRACKBALL WON'T MOVE MY
CHARACTER IN MY GAME, WHAT GIVES?
Be sure that the game you are trying to play has mouse support. Also be sure to enable mouse control
in the game, and assign the buttons and movement as desired.
A BUTTON IS NOT WORKING, WHAT CAN I DO?
1) Check to see if the X-Arcade™ Trackball itself is working as a mouse outside of a game. If it
is not, first check that your connections are securely plugged in.
2) If the X-Arcade™ Trackball responds including all of the buttons outside of a game, then you
may simply need to configure it properly for the game/emulator you are trying to use it with.
3) If a button is still not responding:
• Open the X-Arcade™ Trackball using the instructions on page 14, and check to be sure that
the microswitch is firmly seated in the button's socket. If it is not, simply snap it snugly
back into place.
• Be sure that there is nothing, for instance a wire, in between the microswitch and the
button causing them not to connect properly.
• Check that the wires are firmly attached to the microswitch.
CAN I USE AN X-ARCADE™ CONTROLLER WITH THE X-
ARCADE™ TRACKBALL?
Yes! The X-Arcade™ simply acts as a keyboard, and the X-Arcade™ Trackball as your mouse.

TURN OFF THE COMPUTER!
• PS/2 Connection: Make sure your X-Arcade™ Trackball's cable is plugged into the computer's
PS/2 MOUSE PORT
(not keyboard port). The mouse port is usually green in color.
• If you can’t get the X-Arcade™ Trackball to function on your computer, try it on another
computer to verify the unit is working properly. If it does work on a different computer, you may
simply need to remove some other mouse drivers from the intitial computer.
• When playing with
MAME™
or emulation software, you must enable mouse support in the
emulator’s options menu. See page 9 of this manual for more info on this.
• Playing with
MAME™
you can change the sensitivity of the X-Arcade™ Trackballl movements by
hitting the "TAB" key on your keyboard while a game is running, and under "Analog Controls"
menu change the X and Y Sensitivity percentage. (higher % is more sensitive). If you roll the
ball fast and get kickback, you have the sensitivity set too high. More info on this can be found
on page 9 of this manual.

can be found on the "Customer Service" and "Technical Support" sections of

menu may be slightly different if you have 3rd party mouse software installed. Remember that this
