Warlords Paddle Turn Angle [and other questions]?

I never even knew that jakks had a paddle plug & play.
I must get it for conveniently playing warlords without setting up my 7800 and cleaning the cart over and over.
I wonder how hard it would be to hack for use with the Stella emulator.

The Jakks Paddles generally got good reviews.  The Paddles are Potentiometer based so they could probably be wired to something like an Ultimarc A-Pac for PC use.

Stella supports a single mouse as two paddles using X-Axis and Button 1 for Paddle 1, and Y-Axis and Button 2 for Paddle 2.
I made my mouse paddles adhere to this convention. Two separate mice paddles, one only moves the X-Axis and the other only moves the Y-Axis. Also works great in MAME.

Google image search for 'mouse spinner' and 'mouse spinner Atari'  for many different takes on mouse paddle/spinner hacks.

It makes sense that the players would be under their castle just like in the cocktail version. That is how I am going to set it up. Thanks!

Yeah, I'm gonna look into doing that.
I have an old paddle set that I may hack up
