Title: Spinner what Axis?
Post by: bent98 on February 28, 2008, 08:58:47 pm

I have a TT2 spinner and a Happ USB 3 inch trackball. Just wondering if I should put it on the x,y, or Z axis? Is there any advantage or disadvantge to putting spinner  on Z axis? Also if I did put it on the Z Axis, which controls setting in Mame do I change?

sometimes backspin will be a problem on the z axis...it was for me and at least one other guy...
i put it on the x axis and it was good to go...

if you put it on the y axis...then you could use it to scroll through your gamelist on mala...

No conflict with it sharing same as trackball?

Maybe reading this thread will help you figure out which one to use.

Not if the trackball is on a physically different interface board.  But they cannot both be connected to the same board and axis.
