--- Quote from: Minwah on March 20, 2006, 08:44:15 am ---Just a couple of points regarding the software side... Firstly, it seems to me the default sensitivity settings in MAME are just whatever the driver author felt like (or more likely the best setting that worked for him/her). Secondly, it would be VERY handy to be able to specify analog settings (inc. sensitivity) in ctrlr file(s)...but this feature seems to be broken (& has been since the introduction of the system). If this were fixed it would be hugely beneficial, IMO. --- End quote --- Best hope of adding this is probably to either post it on the PowerMAME forum or the PowerMAME Wiki. |

Hey, guys, come on now. Who out there has hacked a mouse and had a problem with spinner sensitivity? I find the discussion of resolution, etc., kind of funny because I've used three different el cheapo mice with definitely low tooth count encoder wheels and had nothing but success. For me, the analog settings for spinners is one of the few things that the Mamedev's seem to have designed specifically for playing rather than documenting (the lame-o usual scapegoat) the games (in addition to the rotary issue, which apparently was designed so the Dev's could play Ikari with a spinner). The sensitivity thing works brilliantly for me. I don't care how high of a resolution encoder/analog interface Arkanoid uses in the arcade. I remember playing it when I was 15. The game is damn hard on the original hardware or at home. I love the game, but it's not getting any easier or better by having a higher resolution interface. The idea to get a perfect spinner for Arkanoid seems a tad ridiculous to me. My two cents, enjoy your spinner games guys. I'm sure both Christian and Randy have wonderful well-designed products to offer, although I have no experience with either one. Cheers, KenToad |

In light of the uncivil nature of this entire thread, I will no longer require spinners for any of my control panels. I will be using sliders liberated from my stereo's graphic equalizer, and encoders made of bamboo toothpicks by Bulgarian idiot-savants. Is the popcorn low salt? My doctor said I should lower my sodium intake. |

I love my Tornado and it's small foot print. Highly recommended. John |

??? ??? I bought a Slikstik spinner from Happ and it will only control the Vertical axis. It looks like MAME wants input on the horizontal axis. I heard that a jumper will change the axis direction. there are some jumper pins, but it didn't come with a jumper installed. I tried every possible connection and the only thing I was able to do was feed voltage back through the USB cable and kill the connection (scary). no permanent damage, but I'm done trying to mess with it until I get some advice. BTW I also have the Happ trackball on the same USB hub and they both work simultaneously in windows, but only the trackball works in mame. I try to use the tabbed controls setup in mame but it doesn't seem to recognize the spinner for $75 I WANT TO PLAY TEMPEST!!!!!!!! :laugh: :laugh: |
