I'm thinking that the version of MAME you have may not be using the divided Z.  If you connect the spinner back to the X axis without changing the sensitivity settings, does everything work ok?  If so, you will need to use a different version of MAME, or move your trackball to a dedicated interface and put the spinner back on X or Y.

Anybody know in which version this change was effected?

I changed the scroll mouse wheel settings as you suggested Randy and it did make the problem better. The spinner isn't as jittery and erratic but it looks like it is still way over sensitive and I have the sensitivity down to 1%. For example just nudging the spinner in Tempest moves it a complete revolution or more on the screen.

I'm using Mame .119U2 with XP. Thanks for the help.

I am having a similar problem with Tempest with "backspin" as mentioned above.  I have the TT2 on the X and Y axis.  Also, does anyone know how to access the sensitivity options (analog) for the spinner in MAME?

Stumped.

** UPDATE ** - I found the Analog % setting in the DIP menu (tab key).  This seemed to tame the TT2 and seems to work great.  However, anyone know what the digital control is for?  Does that control the fire button in Tempest?  What's the optimal setting?

Anyone know the optimal settings for Tempest and the TurboTwist 2?  (using MAME .119)

I think I got it finally working.  I took Randy advice and kept on trying different Mame versions and PowerMame32 ver. 105 seems to keep the z-axis stable.  I don't know why PowerMame and not any of the other versions.  Does anyone one know who PowerMame stopped at ver. 105?

DeLuSioNal29, the optimum setting according to Randy is about 6 or 7.
