Texasmame:
I was doing some research here yesterday as to how to install/use a Front Line "spinner" since FL is one of my closet favs.  Seemed like you could do it but it would involve some hacking of a switch into the ground, if I read it right.

Is this spinner the answer to not only DOT but the FL problem, too, or am I missing something?

TIA,
John in TX

RetroJames:

I spoke with David at Apache, he's doing some testing tonight to see if we can get an official answer. I thought it would but it's been so long since I played FL on a real CP I may be missing something.

Hi guys,

The Blackhawk circuit controller is designed to emulate standard PC-based mouse control movements. This allows for the widest possible selection of true spinner games to play via emulation. Any game which can use a mouse input will work; Tempest, DOT, etc.

Games like Front-Line are not true spinner games and as such will not work with standard mouse input devices. They only work with rotary position-style switch-based inputs.

If there is enough interest, maybe we'd consider building these types of controllers in the future.
