Title: Need some assistance with Spinner settings
Post by: equlizer on March 05, 2017, 11:25:13 pm

Just got a new bartop with a trackball and spinner.  Ive been to the spinner turn count page on here bout dial sensitivity.  But.....What about the other settings?  Do i just leave them be?

Movements feel Jerky.  Is there a way to make it look and feel smooth?  Eg. Arkanoid

No sorry I meant the analogue setting :p
But yeah it should be on the x axis ;)

The spintrak is a 1200 resolution device so try about 40% on arkanoid that should be about right.

Thats what mine is set at and runs nicely.

You can get the game turn counts etc from here to calculate the other games:

Change the sensitivity to 40 or 41% and try that.
