I know that the cart needs the original board to work because of special controls for the track ball. Has anyone done any mods to make this work on the standard MVS board? Whick board number was it designed to work on anyway? Will the track ball plug intoa 4 slot board?

Thanx............Klaws:buttrock:

I can't imagine it is possible.

You would need to rewrite the Bios from scratch to interpret the signals from the joysticks..... with a normal bios...the trackball doesn't work...with an IM bios the joysticks don't work.

Plus in an Irritating Maze set-up a seperate daughterboard is needed to interpret the trackball....so I can't see working that into any other board than the 1B which has a special hook-up for it.
