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

What games?

Is the game image larger than the screen?  So that the screen has to pan back and forth to see it all?

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.

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

OK.
Thanks everyone, i went in and switched the config file from auto resolution to force it to 800x600 and now it works great !!!

Thanks a million for the quick responses. You guys / gals are the best !
