Todd H:
Here's some more settings from my machine:

Spinner: TT2 connected to Optipac, poll rate=500 Hz (XP)
Mame: .130

Arkanoid/Revenge of Doh - Sensitivity=41%
Blasteroids - Sensitivity=6%
Cameltry - Sensitivity=41%
Dark Planet - Sensitivity=5%
Kick/Kickman - Sensitivity=1%
Omega Race - Sensitivity=5%
Pole Position/Pole Position II - Sensitivity=9%
Road Blasters - Sensitivity=13%
Tron - Sensitivity=11%
Super Speed Race - Sensitivity=5%
Tac/Scan/Star Trek/Zektor - Sensitivity=5%
720 - Sensitivity=6%

I'd love to see other people's settings for trackball games, especially those with 3" Happ trackballs connected to Optipac's.

this is a great idea, i've been wondering why this isn't out there already. mind you, i think the best way to go is to give some kind of reference in the game itself that you can work off. i think it was in the wiki about turn counts that it mentioned that a full revolution of the spinner in the original tempest moved you 6 sectors on the first screen. it's pretty easy to calibrate after that. if we had this kind of info from the originals i reckon it'd be a lot easier to config.

Just wanted to say this is exactly what I was looking for recently having gotten my TT2!  Thanks Todd for posting your settings... And I second the request for trackball settings as I have an Ultimarc U-TRAC on the way!

Doing a search led me to this post which has a good bit of information too:

This post has references from the original games as well.  I also noticed in another post I found that Randy mentioned that Arkanoid 2 needs about twice as much as the first.

The "feel" will be a little different based on knob diameter as well, compared to the original knob size.  A smaller knob than the original may feel more accurate if you lower the sensitivity, while a larger one will feel more accurate if it's a little higher. But the numbers above are good starting points.
