I agree... I'm putting two spinners on my CP for 2600 and Warlords... and pong, I suppose, too. |

I'm currently going through a similar 2 spinners or not debate (its an interface issue mainly - don't seem to have a spare axis anywhere - although advancemame might save me). I'd LOVE to play a co-op arkanoid game.... |

As far as interfacing, I'm going to hook my Tornado spinners up to my Opti-PAC. Not to hijack a thread, but do you think there's enough of an interest to make a small run (50 or 100) of kits to replace the Tornado spinners board with Opti-PAC interface boards? |

Has Andy from Ultimarc started selling Opti-PAC compatible interface boards for the Tornado spinner yet? Last time I heard, it was still in the planning stages. I did my Tornado hack with interface boards from OSCAR Controls... http://mame.3feetunder.com/tornadomod/ |

I have a couple tornados on mine. I've had them on there for a couple of years now and I Luv 'em! I plan on adding a 3rd, maybe even a fourth. Just to add a bit to what everyone else is saying. I also have two top fire sticks. The Ikari type games are totally playable with a topfire and spinner. BUT also keep in mind that there is a second grenade button. The way I have my CP laid out is cool though for this because there's a button right off the spinner that I use for that. It's a bit awkward at first though. But I don't play Ikari all that much. Another game that works well with the topfire and spinner is Frontline. Although that's a single player game. Games like Super Offroad and Warlords are big hits at my house becuase of the dual spinners. Super Offroad and the like works great in my opinion with them. It's the main reason I'm considering dropping the extra c-note to get a 3rd spinner. Pop N Bounce definitely used a joystick and most likely that's the case with Puchi Carot as well. That's a longstanding MAME error. Disregard it. |
