Title: SlikStik Tornado Spinner Help
Post by: 1500points on March 21, 2013, 04:59:43 pm

Hello and thanks in advance.

I have a USB Slikstick Tornado spinner / win7 64bit / mame .148 (mamedev version)

In windows I can see the spinner move the mouse left and right.

What settings do I need to adjust for the key mappings in MAME so a game like Major Havoc works?

In MH, I can move the ship left and right with the keys, but the spinner does nothing.

What settings should I have for Tab>Input This Game
Dial Analog  (currently mouse X)
Dial Analog Dec (currently KBD Left)
Dial Analog Inc (currently KBD Right)

Have you tried clearing the Dial Analog and re-mapping it? (Multi-mouse problem?)

You shouldn't need the Dial Analog Dec/Inc inputs since you are using the spinner instead of a joystick. (Won't hurt it if you don't clear them IIRC   :dunno)

Also check/reset your "Analog Controls" menu settings to defaults as needed.

I must be missing a step.

How do I reset the Dial Analog settings?
tab>config inputs this game>arrow to Dial Analog>hit enter which gives a blank window
Moving the spinner left or right doesn't put any value in there.

I tried a trackball, too which does move the windows arrow around. but I am unable to get mame to respond.
tried mamedev 148 and wolf106.

the analog settings are norml, no reverse, speed between 20 and 40, and sensitivity at 100.
I must be missing some simple detail?

a ha!  had to set the mame.ini to mouse  = 1
now the spinner and trackball work

Dial Analog defaults to "Mouse X"

Thanks for helping get me thinking in the right direction!  :)

How do I reset the Dial Analog settings?

To reset any MAME inputs to default, use up/down/mouse click to highlight the desired input and do this:
1. Press Enter
2. Press Escape (Clears the input)
3. Press Enter
4. Press Escape (Returns the input to default keys)

For variable settings like "Sliders" menu or "Analog Controls" menu, use up/down/mouse click to highlight the setting and press Enter to return to default.
