| Trackball settings to act like Spinner? |
| (1/1) |
| BobbyG66:
I just saw that X-Arcade is selling a trackball unit and advertising that it works with Breakout and Pong (Spinner games). Is there a way to adjust/config the settings for those games to recognize just the horizontal or vertical outputs from the trackball? I am thinking I may not need a spinner if the trackball works well... Once I find out how to do it, will have to test the performance and playability of those type games. Thanks for anyones help. |

yes, you can tell mame to use the y axis instead of the x axis. But after that... I have both... And I didn't really play any spinner games on my cab until I got a spinner... and I had a trackball for about a year at that point. If you like spinner games, get a spinner. If you like trackball games get a trackball. If you like both, consider if you can fit both or hotswappable. Sure the trackball can be used, but its not the same. Also note. Getting a spinner thats geared is much better for arkanoid and such.... So I could see getting 2 spinners and a trackball.,.. |

Thanks, I tried out Arkanoid last night with the trackball. It worked but just not the same. I guess I will suck it up and throw down some money for a spinner. BobbyG66 |
