720 degrees
SirPoonga:
Ok, I might have got lost on this but is there a hack to use an analog joystick? Which would have been the best way!
could you explain something, maybe a little differently. How does 720 use the calibration wheel? Where in mame is that wheel handled or should have been handled? (I know some drivers have code commented out like afterburner where special hardware should be handled)

Sorry for the delay -- Too busy playing 720
SirPoonga:
So there would be no way to have a switch automatically point the skater north?
Or a switch to act like the calibration wheel? metal contact brushed place correctly on the encoder wheel could complete the circuit for a switch that acts like a button.
So the calibration disc is extremely over complicated. I suppose if calibration got too far off it would be weird to have the skater just pop to north though.

Use a switch and configure my 720 Mame build to use that switch as the both Track_Y (up and/or down)... That would probably work just fine.

I don't think the calibration disc is very complicated since the 720 rom software does all of the work.

Calibration shouldn't get too far off in the first place, so hopefully that would't be such a problem.

Ok, I haven't run your mame yet, but is that done in the menus?
