Dumb Question- Turning on TBs/Spinners
<< < (4/4)
eyal8r:
sweet- I'll try this out, but first some more dumb question- just wanna make sure I'm doing this right here....

I go to command prompt, type that, it runs for a sec, then does nothing and brings me back to the command prompt. Right? So nothing REALLY happens here at this part?

Then, I can navigate to the Mame32 folder, open the ini file in notepad, edit everything to say 1 on what you said earlier, and move THAT file to the mame32/ini/ directory, restart mame?  Did I get this right?
Thanks

Nothing that you can see  "-cc" stands for -CreateConfig, so MAME runs, builds the .ini file, and exits back to the DOS prompt.  BTW, if you did this previously, the .ini file is already built and you don't have to do it again.

save the file . . .

I would COPY, rather than MOVE, but I don't think it matters.

You got it.

WOO HOO!!!  This worked great!!!

Now- I am having problems with my spinners. I'm certain they're hooked up correctly and wired right. But I'm getting no response from them at all. I have 2 spinners- Model 3 running on Analog+ XP, w/ Optipac.  Mame isn't racognizing them at all. I wonder if it's also a config problem. I am testing with Arkanoid.  Any ideas?

I cannot thank you enough, guys!!!

FYI-
I soaked the ball bearings in WD40, then threw some 3in1 oil on them, and man those things fly!!!  Anyone having a tight TB problem- DO THIS NOW!
