Title: Arcade 1up Spinner Info
Post by: DJ Tidalwave on January 12, 2020, 01:24:29 am

Does anyone know if the Arcade 1 up spinner uses the 4 standard connections + , X+, X- , -  I want to use one with an iPac 2

I'm sure you know this, but the spinner is the most complained about product from Arcade1up by Arcade1up owners. It's universally agreed to be the worst controller as it's not really a spinner, but more of a dial with set positions. It really is terrible. Here is a good video showing the problems from the original and upgrading to the GRS spinner. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3A7Q7PmZGA

By default the GRS spinner connects directly to the Arcade1up and there is an interface board to allow it to connect to USB.

Here is a pic of the GRS Spinner and it's interface board:

I'm not trying to deflect the question. I would assume you could connect the default spinner to the ipac, but have no experience doing so.

but it does NOT connect directly to the Arcade 1 up.  Thats why  they built the board, if you have the 12 in 1 it will NOT work as a direct replacement.I would never use the original 1up spinner but 1up has a newly designed spinner that they released that is said to be much better.same thing, you need the board for it as well on the 12-1 1up.
