This must be some kind of MAME hack, 'cause you couldn't do that with the actual hardware.....


Actually, as you can burn roms from rom files, I think you can do this.

I guess it depends on whether it was a ROM hack, or a hardware hack in the driver in MAME.

Except that there is no way to interface the spinner with the actual hardware.

It is a rom hack, but it interfaces with the Mame analog input drivers.

You cannot burn it to a rom and play it on actual hardware. This hack is for mame only.

I'm waiting for MacGuyver to come with an Arkanoid board set, and hacked Gyruss roms.
