Spinner Settings
Lilwolf:
I know the difference between them...
but where would the
"a little lag" come from?
weight makes more work to change directions... Is this the lag hes talking about was my question.
because if you get "a little lag" when moving slowly... you have a different problem then its the wrong type of spinner.

Sorry, I misinterpreted your previous post.

Is there any lag in windows desktop? If yes, you need to tweek windows instead of just mame.

She absolutely loves games like arkanoid. My cab has a USB Slik Stik Tornado spinner. On Arkanoid (Which by the way I can't stand) there seems to be a little lag when the spinner is engaged. I've tried messing around with the MAME settings to try to find that "happy place" but nothing that satisfies me. Is there a certain procedure that anyone uses to tweak it (i.e. I don't want to change more than one thing at a time, adjust sensitivity, try it, adjust digital speed, try it) or if anybody would care to offer up their prime settings for arkanoid that would be appreciated. Thanks for the feedback.

I don't think it's the Tornado. I experience the same thing with all of my analog controls. I have tried just about everything for settings to get around it. It is *very* noticable in Arkanoid. It's a very short, but noticable delay between moving, for example, the spinner and having it happen on screen. Just curious, what do you use for hooking up the spinner? Mouse hack, OptiPac, etc?
psikey:
Just using USB directly into the computer. have an opti-pac for the trackball, but couldn't work up the courage to hack a $90 spinner. I think everyone who has posted has legitimate answers. The spinner IS brilliant in tempest, but not in Arkanoid. What other games are out there I can test it out on? Thanks for all the feedback!
