Oh, yeah! I read about that a few months ago and keep meaning to try
it. I believe the author of the post I read says that it sends a
continuous left to the joystick port in trackball mode, so you just
have to keep rolling the joystick right and the game sees you moving
the joystick back and forth incredibly fast. 8) Did I remember
