Then if MAME saw a non-zero value for this, it recalculated the sensitivity in each game since it knew what type of spinner you had on your panel.

Now that is a quality idea! .... Mike are you reading this... If not it needs a cross post to the Power Mame forum.

I would like confirmation from someone like RandyT or Urebel or Haze that I am understanding it correctly, and then I can add it to the PowerMAME Wiki (and probably PM MikeQ).

Lol, I guess you just read into a message what you want, but if you say the first post in this thread is a direct attack then I cannot see how the points brought up in there (which come from the TurboTwist thread) are not an attack the other way around (I'm not just talking about the first advertisment post itself, but also the replies in the thread that followed).
I think the point Christian brings up in his first post are valid points:
- The designs look like pretty similar to me too (and the stainless steel joystick handles do too so I guess Christian says "again" because of that) The wording here is a bit "unprofessional" though.
- Christian didn't understand the use for a higher definition wheel and he tried to explain why. Seems a bit weak to me, but I guess a review will one day tell.
- Comment about the jokes regarding the smooth spinning of the Tornado
- Comment about the price of the Tonado
Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending Christian (to be honest I'm much more in favor of Randy especially seeing how much bigger his contribution of cool gadgets is to the community) and I think SlikStik came out of this thread looking pretty bad (especially after the last few attacks), but to imply that him starting this thread is uncalled for and the "lies" in the first post are a reason for a libel suit is just silly.

Yeah, that would be really cool. I was wondering how that would work. To be honest I'd probably change the settings to suit my own taste anyway, but out of the box most spinner games seem to differ quite a lot (in movement speed) with their standard settings.

His technical posts mean nothing but mumbo jumbo; the facts are the facts regardless of big technical words that might amaze some people.

Ah hahhaha... Way to go, buddy... Way to go...
You basically insult the population of this forum by calling us ignorant, and then imply how we'll mindlessly be impressed by a shiny bauble.
I thought at one time (prior to your initial attack) I MIGHT order one of your knobs, even with the inflated shipping costs, but now I think I'd just rather impale a bagel on the spinner shaft and see how that works...
