How do you set arcade accurate analog settings ??

Yes, afaik.

I have information on Tempest that some people with a real Tempest were kind enough to post for me:
There is NO acceleration component to Tempest. If you turn the spinner 180 deg fast or slow, you move the same amount in the game. You may have to change your windows mouse settings to eliminate acceleration.
If you turn the spinner 180 degrees, your shooter will move 3 full spots in the first level.
I have an Oscar Controls Vortex and I found that a sensitivity of 40% worked perfectly to get me 3 spots @ 180 degrees.
Each persons control might be different. What are their windows mouse settings? What size is the trackball? How fast does your spinner move the pointer? This is why it is best to list the measurements from an actual arcade game, so each person can adjust their controls to the original.
I don't know any games except Tempest as far as measurements, but I've been thinking of posting and finding someone with a real Arkanoid to ask next...
Good Luck,
Alan

ive noticed on my older computers that key/joyspeed has more effect. when key/joyspeed is set high i get backspin with a spinner or trackball, a good example is in the game Kick. when i adjust key/joyspeed lower the backspin is eliminated.
on oscarcontrols website this key/joyspeed setting is discussed:

also, on my spyhunter settings it seems key/joyspeed effects the initial movement of the race car while the sensitivity setting affects the overall turning speed.

URebelScum posted awhile back that, although the key/joy speed SHOULDN'T have any effect on true analog controls, it DOES for some reason.

I think key/joy speed worked differently in different versions of MAME. The very latest version seems to have replaced it with "digital speed". I know that in recent versions, the key/joy speed did NOT have any effect because I tried setting it to its lowest and highest settings and it only affected the joystick control, not the analog control. I have heard that in older versions of MAME it did play a role in analog as well though.
Thanks,
