Title: Oscar Vortex Spinner and Tempest/Tron/Star Trek
Post by: tonmazz on October 16, 2006, 06:41:23 pm

I just installed my Vortex spinner and am having a few issues.  It works great on Arkanoid but on vector type games, it moves the whole screen unless I go really slow.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

I have this same question.  In some games if I move the mouse too quickly it moves the whole screen.

Why?

Dou you say about MAME? If yes then -> Analog controls -> Sensivity.

Why?

Disable mouse accelaration (aka "Enhance pointer precision") in windows mouse control panel.  Some drivers can do this on a per application level, but the default one applies to all apps and the desktop.

As to why, this setting multiples the mouse movements by bigger numbers the faster the mouse moves (there's four levels, usually).  IMO, the accel points and levels are too soon and too high for even the desktop at all but the lowest setting (in drivers that can adjust it); and mame needs it to be disabled.  Still, the pointer is too slow if disabled for normal "desktop"ing.

Thanks for the advice on the mouse settings, I will try that.  I did change the Mame setting for Tempest and Star Trek to open in a window and while smaller, it at least allowed me to play.  Thanks.
