Hori produced a trackball compatible with Moero Pro Soccer, Moero Pro Soccer, Putt Putt Golf, and US Championship V'Ball. It was released in Japan, and what appears to be a prototype U.S. version was exhibited behind glass in Nintendo World, but the U.S. version never reached stores.
Report byte 1 is the embedded standard controller.
Byte 2, MSB first:
7654 3210 |||| ++++- Axis 2, signed 4 bit, XOR with $F ++++------ Axis 1, signed 4 bit, XOR with $F
Byte 3, MSB first:
7654 3210 |||| ++++- Unknown (read and unused by games) ||++------ ID bits (1 or 2 depending on version) |+-------- Unknown (speculated by nocash to be the speed switch) +--------- Rotation mode switch (0: R, 1: L)
In rotation mode L, Up on the Control Pad points up, axis 1 points down, and axis 2 points right. In rotation mode R, Up on the Control Pad points right, axis 1 points left, and axis 2 points down.
The ID bits are in the same place as those of the Four Score hub, which is also based on a Hori design. It is speculated that axis 2 can be used to distinguish them.
