List of best settings for trackball/spinner games?

There are too many variables to have a one-setting-fits-all list.

As mentioned, the number of teeth on the encoder wheel, the sensitivity of the mouse/interface it is hacked too, and even your OS/MAME version/etc... will all have an effect on the setting in MAME.

Your best bet is to find a setting that seems close for "most" games, and then put that into the general preferences.
If you find a game that doesn't feel quite right, you can then adjust on a game-by-game basis.

"Supposed to" is different from "is".  :-\

I don't know how, and I've been wondering about this on for years, but the key/joy speed does have some effect on mouse input.  Not very much, but enough to sometimes make a difference between backspin or not.

I'm also wondering about settings for my spinner and trackball... (last night I finally got them both hooked up)

Here is what I'm using:

Happ's 3" Golden Tee Trackball
Oscar Control's Vortex Spinner
OPTI-PAC.

Oscar's site suggests settings for Arkanoid but he doesn't suggest settings for any other games with the Vortex spinner.

Anybody have any suggestions for me?

Also, should I configure all my spinner/trackball games with the same settings or should I configure them seperately?  If so, how do I configure them seperately?  Whenever I change "Analog Controls" from the MAME options menu it doesn't seem to save.
