Sports Pad had two modes - in controller mode, it sends directional inputs to roughly match how you spin the ball. Works better than you’d think and works with all games. In sports mode it acts like a regular trackball, sending change in position each time you poll it. Only a few games supported this mode. Once I clean up this code, you’ll be able to use it as a generic USB trackball. (Other devices already exist to do this but Reflex Adapt wasn’t one of them and I wanted to learn some Arduino.)
