Need help identifying spinner
klippoth:
I bought this arcade spinner on ebay, and was hoping to connect it to an opti-pac, but neither I nor the seller seem to be able to figure out what game this is from. I really am trying to figure out what pins are what on the board, but I am at a loss. Does anyone know what game this is from, or even better, which pins are what on the optical encoder board?
It has an identical knob to Tron, but painted orange on top, and is extremely heavy and rugged as old-school spinners were...
Green Giant:
No idea what it is from, but there is always the hack a mouse method. All the hardwork is already done for you.
klippoth:
I already own a new opti-pac that I am using with a Happ trackball, and it would be a total waste for me to do the hack-a-mouse method when I have that. Already thought about that idea, but no, I just want to use the pre-existing hardware if possible.
klippoth:
Just for clarification, here is a pic I just took of the optical encoder board removed from the spinner frame:
CheffoJeffo:
The mounting assembly doesn't look like Tron, but the optic board looks like Tron, except for the different pinout and it doesn't say Midway Mfg like the Tron boards.
I dunno ... :dunno
