And just how would you use a spinner with this anyway? Its looking for 4 different switch closures....I don't see how you can duplicate that with a spinner....apples and oranges. Plus, the player's ship won't move any faster....so what's the point?

My goal when I built my machine is to have fun reliving the classics and finding new games.

I agree. I'll likely try using the spinner for some of these games. If I enjoy them, great; if not... I'll play them like I did originally. :)

This must be some kind of MAME hack, 'cause you couldn't do that with the actual hardware.....

3rd post down links to the reference thread from where the video came. It is clearly a Mame hack. Thats the beauty of MAME. Sometimes things are altered to make the game more playable (such as playing vector games on a different display), creating sequels or in this case to customize the controller scheme.
Good times.
