After this aweasome post:

http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,150652.0.html (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,150652.0.html)

I discovered the mouse works on game...BUT WRONG!

I do not know why but under windows works perfect and smoot....here make only small steps from 1....0....-1 on every direction i rotate the spinner.

SOLVED

i found a wrong contact between the +5v and GND.

The issue (on my case) is the +5v not the discovered wrong shourtcut:

+5v -------------------------- + 5v Raspberry
GND BUTTON ------------------------------  GND minipac encoder
-5v and NO button contact  ------------------------------   Input signal Minipac

Now it works!

the contacts were really close and making some trouble on this way, now i have checked and works perfectly!

The consideration about to "NOT TRUST TAB MENU FOR SETUP ANALOGS CONTROLS" are true! please be careful and do not trust at this menu, play a game and check directly!  ;)

Wiring mistakes and a wrongly placed decimal point will get you every time. LOL
Glad you got this fixed, and thanks for sharing, it might help someone else along the way.
