Title: Cannot get turbotwist 2 spinner to work in mame.
Post by: bpjacobsen on January 15, 2017, 12:06:58 pm

I built an arcade control panel. I have the turbotwist 2 spinner connected and it as installed successfully when USB plug connected. I have the ribbon cable plugged into the spinner from the controller board it came with then USB plugged into my PC. But nothing happens when I try to use it for Tempest. If I hit tab to bring up settings and select the dial option, nothing happens when I spin it. No clue what I am doing wrong. I am new to this setup. Only thing I see when I spin is a reoccurring gray bar in the middle of the screen, so it does seem to see the spinner but I can't figure out how to get it working.

Welcome aboard, bpjacobsen.   ;D

1. Does it work in Windows?  Turning the spinner left/right should move the Windows cursor left/right.

2. If so, is mouse enabled (1) in mame.ini?

If you don't have a mame.ini file in either the "..\mame\" or "..\mame\ini\" folder, you can generate it using "mame -cc" . (create config)
