Spinner wackiness
(1/1)
ChaosJohn:
I'm running the latest MAME32 on a Windows 2000 machine.  I have both
a trackball and a spinner working with it, but they're both pretty flaky.
Examples:

If I play Marble Madness, usually when I start it up, before I roll the
trackball at all, the marble rolls off the back of the maze.  If I roll as
fast as I can in the other direction, I can just keep it on the maze, but
not move it around.  Sometimes if I fiddle with setup stuff for awhile
it will work for a game or two, but it always comes back, even if I
don't change the settings

If I play Arkanoid, it forces the paddle all the way over to the right
and I can just barely drag it away from the edge.

Also, what's the difference between "digital speed" and "sensitivity"?

Digital has to do with digital controls......i.e a joystick or keyboard. Sensitivity controls analog controls such as a trackball, mouse, or spinner.

Sounds like you have an analog joystick plugged in and joysticks enabled.  Disable joysticks for these games.  Also, you should calibrate your joysticks (or throw them out if they're gameport; gameports can uncalibrate quickly).
