Hell yes you should be able to use trackball or joystick.
If a game is originally played with trackball, of course you play it
with mouse or trackball. Isn't it allmost cheating when someone uses
keaboard in trackball game? -(answering myself) In my opinion
"original" controls seem to have best effect, so use anything you
want except autofire(you are welcome try to beat my Marble Madness
score with any controlling method you like...). I bought a trackball
for Marble and haven't regretted it a single moment-It really isn't
so expensive and I use it as a spinner also...furthermore Marble is
ten times more fun with a trackball.

Emulation for trackball is perfect, problem is to find right analog-
settings. If sensitivity is TOO HIGH marble seems to stop or go
wrong direction, when rolling fast. You should experiment with analog
settings, changing sensitivity and that other prosentage value
(something like delta x prosentage). Normally I use final-versions
for recording, and trackball works just fine. I've noticed that later
versions analog settings look different compared to older ones, but
they work just the same. It's my lazyness,that makes me still use
M35b2 for marble-since I found right settings with that version and
don't want to experiment for few ours with later versions.
