Complete List of Spinner Turns Ratios
rockin_rick:
For the sake of completeness, the specs on a Off Road wheel with the flat encoder wheel and small gears is 96 teeth drive, 14 teeth driven, 24 teeth encoder wheel. 164.57 teeth per revolution. The drive gear and the steering wheel are on the same shaft and the the driven gear and encoder wheel are on the same shaft.

Are you saying there are two versions of the gearing? Interesting. I'll add the info to the wiki.

... as promised:
http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Spinner_Turn_Count
please help me to keep this accurate, if any info is wrong, or you have ideas about a better format for the info, let me know here or better yet, edit the wiki directly
Hope this helps someone...

p.s. by the way, did anything come of Derrick Renaud's idea of adding auto-sensitivity to MAME?

Cool, glad to see this. I had taken those measurements a few years ago but they were *very* unscientific since I didn't have access to any of the internals. This is exactly the kind of thing we need for close to the original gameplay (assuming you have the original controls too).

I haven't altered anything but I think this section:
Subs
Monte Carlo
Super Sprint
Drag Race
Fire Truck 36
...should read 'Super Bug' and not 'Super Sprint'. That is based on Super Bug being the same hardware as Monte Carlo & Fire Truck. Also, Super Sprint is mentioned in the section at the bottom as being 2x or 4x (assume 2x as Champ. Sprint & APB are apparently 2x).
Good info, I will have to compare it to my guess work. I have a feeling my Pole Position sensitivity is lower than the figure I've calculated...
Edit: I didn't take into account my mouse encoder multiplier (x4 AFAIK), so I think the figures look much closer to what I guessed :)
