I want my CP to be lean and mean and if it's just "breakout" type games, then I can do without a spinner. Thanks! -cb |

There are A LOT more than that, not sure why that website missed a bunch. If you look in the Mame games list and look for a control of "dial" you see all of them. If you do not have a steering wheel, a spinner can be used to drive. |

I was thinking this today myself, since I am in the process of making my trackball/spinner/analog stick panel... I used MAMEWAH's Input Type and Category (catlist) filters, to give a list of non-driving spinner games: 720 degrees Aqua Jack Arkanoid Arkanoid - Revenge of DOH Atari Mini Golf Aztarac Beatmania (all) Blasteroids Boxing Bugs Burmuda Triangle Caliber 50 Cameltry Car Polo Cerberus Cosmic Chasm Cyvern Dark Planet DownTown Embargo Exterminator Fighting Soccer Forgotten Worlds Gals Panic 4 Gals Panic S - Extra Edition Gals Panic S2 Ghox Gigas Gigas Mark II Gondomania Guerilla War Guts'n Heavy Barrel Hiphopmania Complete Mix 2 Ikari III - The Rescue Ikari Warriors Jan Jan Paradise Jan Jan Paradise 2 Kaiser Knuckle Kick Kozmik Kroozr Major Havoc Midnight Resistance Moonwar Off the Wall (Atari) Off the Wall (Sente) Omega Race Panic Street Plump Pop Pop 'n Bounce / Gapporin Prebillian Puzz Loop Quester Razzmatazz Riddle of Pythagoras Road Blasters SAR - Search And Rescue Sengeki Striker Sen-Know Star Trek Subs T.N.K. III Tac/Stan Tel Jan Tempest Time Soldiers TouchDown Fever Tron Two Tigers Victory Victory Road Vs Block Breaker Vs Mahjong Otome Ryouran Wall Crash Wheel of Fortune Wolf Pack Zektor Zwackery Since the 'dial' input type in MAME is incredibly inaccurate, I started going thru the games to see which could actually be played with a dial - see the attached Excel sheet (rename to .xls) my WIP list. The 'y/n/?' column is for my benefit, basically this is whether I can play the game on my panel or not. Ones which are not playable are generally rotary stick games or games with unique controllers. The list isn't great, but might be of some use :) BTW if no-one has Excel post and I'll convert it... Edit: just wanted to say that this list is generated from MAME v0.83, and doesn't include clones. Edit 2: Car Polo slipped thru as it is classed as 'Sports', and Road Blasters as I didn't think to filter out 'Shooter / Driving' games. |
