Mini Environmental Discs of TRON cab build
<< < (3/3)
vectoralpha:
all the spinners I see are for MAME type set ups. I have not found any place that sale DOT arcade spinners with a arcade card ready to go. So I guess another question is can the TRON spinner card be used for the DOT? And or does anyone make an aftermarket DOT spinner card.

thanks for the link on the joystick. I already have a real DOT joystick..
am going to build both a mame version and an arcade version so need both at one point.
The mame version might just have DOT but maybe with some mods and custom mapping it can have TRON too.

Correct me if I am wrong here, but a spinner for DOT doesn't need to be of the same quality as say a Tempest Spinner if you are making your own up.

DOT is more about aiming so you do not need a specialist spinner - any mouse hack spinner will do as long as you make the shaft of the spinner have contacts at both ends with a decent dual spring to get the same effect.

How difficult would it be to design such a device realizing that high spin rotation is not required?

You must be saving some $$$ in the process.
Gray_Area:
When you get to variable-level levels in Discs of Tron, the up-down firing ability is sorely missed. Plus, why pass up the option to be able to bounce your disc off the ceiling!
