@ RandyT
Thanks for the comment, I personally haven't played a lot of the older games in their actual setting, but I was reading that Wiki on the subject and it implied that things are more "accurate" with a higher poll rate. I guess this may not be the case. Thanks for letting me know. The "jittery" I mentioned was related to a poor performance in arkanoid, I didn't really mess with the MAME settings, because (as I mentioned above) I assumed this was the fault of the polling rate.
I'd test out the MAME settings and let you know if I have problems.
Thanks so much!

Heh. If you haven't adjusted it, the sensitivity is much too high and that's the cause of the "twitchy" movement. Try setting the sensitivity down to 40 and go from there.
