I completely removed the joystick deck from the arcade cabinet. So you needn't have an extra mouse connected to your system. The trackball of the Tankstick also doubles as a mouse pointer for your Mac. You need to use up 2 port for the Tankstick with trackball. The LED cinema display simply plugged into the mini display port on the back of the Mac mini. The Mac mini was upgraded to macOS High Sierra.
