WOW.  This is a crazy level of dedication to one game.  The cabinet looks great - like a piece of art. 

I never really played this game other than a few times and it didn't click right away.  Is the roller more like a trackball or a spinner?  I only have a spinner (and joystick) and I'm finding the game difficult to control although I didn't know there was a second button so I'm going to have to try again.  The game looks OK on a raster but nothing compared to what you are using.  I really like this project.

The controller is a roller controller (like a skateboard wheel), and moves side to side.  It's the only game that used it.  The closest thing would be a spinner as it's just an X axis movement.  If it's hard to control you may want to check the spinner revolution setting in MAME.  I know there was a thread on spinner setting per game.  I think this Youtube clip goes over it:



He doesn't list the tooth count for Major Havoc but it's 24.  I counted.

EDIT: I may need to double check that tooth count.  I’ll post back here.

Yes 24:

Sweet.  Thanks.  So using the formula I should set the sensitivity to 2?  24 * 100 / 1200 (I have a U-Trak spinner).  I'm going to give it a shot.
