And just how would you use a spinner with this anyway? Its looking for 4 different switch closures....I don't see how you can duplicate that with a spinner....apples and oranges. Plus, the player's ship won't move any faster....so what's the point? |

I'll likely try using the spinner for some of these games. If I enjoy them, great; if not... I'll play them like I did originally. :) |

It is clearly a Mame hack. Thats the beauty of MAME. Sometimes things are altered to make the game more playable (such as playing vector games on a different display), creating sequels or in this case to customize the controller scheme. Good times. |
