spinner question (tempest)
(1/2) > >>
ssc arcade:
I made a HDD bearing spinner mounted to a mouse.  Works good but on tempest (only game I have tried so far) it spins backwards.

I spin clockwise game spins counter clockwise.

Any settings to correct this, I have the mouse set up just as it was.

I suppose if you think about it, I am missing the ball reverse.

mouse move one way, ball rotates opposite, wheel spins correct.

Anyway any ideas?

vizzinni:
You can reverse the controls in MAME.

Launch Tempest, then TAB, Analog Controls, Dial Reverse.

I would just reverse the two sensor wires.
While you can reverse the axis in MAME, that won't help other games.
ssc arcade:
thanks, I will try reversing the wires, I knew I should have taken some pictures.

does anyone know if these are wired any std way?

thanks again
vizzinni:
Pics would help, and depends how you hacked the mouse, but you should just need to trace the wires from the two outer legs of the receiver/detector back to the mouse PCB, desolder them, reverse them, and solder them back on.
