The sample rate can be found in the device manager. --- End quote --- Thanks, Kevin. This + UNCHECKING "Fast Initialization" (on the same screen) seemed to do the trick. Time to get back on the high score board in Centipede! Smack, give this a whirl too, d00der. |

a couple of things I learned while I'm tuning my spinner.... go to the mouse in Windows... (assume you're using windows...) then turn the acceleration to "no acceleration"... now... go back to Mame and try... if it still skips... press tab to menu... then in the analog... there's also a sptick speed.... I think the default is like 15...turn it down to like 1.... set the sensitivity to like 50... see if this works.... I used to just tune the sensitivity... but it doesn't really help... that stick speed does make thing much better.... in Kevsteve's website.... look for his review on Tornado Spinner.... in there he showed how to tune it..... hope it helps... ;D ;) |

While i can't offer a side by side comparison, i can say that i didn't notice any significant improvement after upgrading to the red boards. --- End quote --- I can't really tell the difference between the red and green boards either, but I too can't do a side by side comparison. |

Sorry to bring this post back from the dead...but I'm having the same problems with my golden tee trackball. It's got the red PCBs if that matters. But when I play golden tee (or just going around windows desktop), if I hit the ball too hard, if the cursor starts in the middle of the screen, it goes all the way to the bottom pauses there and then goes forward. I've tried to adjust the sample rate, but windows xp detects the trackball has some HID Complient device and when I click on properties, there is no advanced settings tab. So I'm curious if I need a different driver for the trackball, or should I just stick to the classics and forget about golden tee PC? Note: I'm running the minipac to connect the trackball thru usb. I have a wireless ps/2 mouse connected and that does have the advanced settings tab (but that ones shows up as PS/2 Compatible mouse as opposed to HID Complient device). |
