Tornado Spinner, Arkanoid sensitivity?

[mamerocks87]

This is my first time ever using a spinner. I have a slickstick tornado spinner and was wondering what the appropriate sensitivity settings in mame for Arkanoid...Are you suppose to be able to move across the entire screen with the spinner w/out having to take your hand off? Hope this makes since. Any info would be great,

crank it up all the way.  You still won't have the proper sensitivity but it will be somewhat "playable".

This topic has been discussed many times.
My conclusion is that the Tornado is great for Tempest, but awful for Arkanoid.

Agreed.  In fact, Id even say it really does not work at all for Arkanoid.  It has been claimed that the TurboTwist from GGG makes Arkanoid playable, but I have yet to see a review on it.

Any reviews on the GGG Turbotwist yet?
Any Turbotwist owners have any comments re arkanoid?

Also, does anyone know if the GGG Optiwiz has an option to be ordered with optics installed?
Can the encoder wheels used for the Turbotwist be ordered?

JODY said it worked well here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=50331.msg512050#msg512050

RandyT discusses it at length in Reply 72 of the same thread.

I thought I remember McCoy178 saying it worked well also, but can't find the link.

Don't think so, but you could PM or E-mail RandyT and ask.

RandyT also has a "Shoelace" comment for Arkanoid in Reply #89 - http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=50331.msg495384#msg495384 and said "NO" to separate encoder wheels in Reply #90, but you could ask again.
