My First Post. Please help with my spinner
shawcomputers:
Hi everyone, been reading the forums for a long time but this is my first post.
Hope someone can help me with my question. Hope this is the right spot to list this in
I have a Slikstik tornado spinner that interfaces to the USB port.
I also have a happ 3" trackball that interfaces to the USB port as well.
both work great in windows and in Mame.
My problem is with 2 games. When i spin the spinner it moves around left and right perfect but after a second or to the whole image on the screen moves right or left.
Its like looking at a zoomed in window and the spinner pans the image left and right .
How would i tell mame to stop using the spinner to move the image ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Hope you understand what im trying to say

Kremmit:
What games?
Is the game image larger than the screen? So that the screen has to pan back and forth to see it all?
GoPodular.com:
That's my guess. I had that problem with windows itself back when the first TV-out cards were available. It was a resolution issue. Too big=scrolling window, too small=black side bars.
Havok:
Definitely a windows size issue. Make sure that you have set in windows a large enough resolution to handle the games you are having a problem with (Control Panel, Display, Settings). You might also want to experiment with enabling hardware stretching in Mame.

windows is running at 800 x 600 and the game is tempest.
i dont know why it would be panning on something old like that. should fit in 800 x 600 i would think
