Backspin is not cool!

(1/3) > >>

deano728:
I am having backspin issues with a new TT2 spinner and my Happ USB trackball.  I want to play tempest accurately.

I have looked up all of the posts about backspin to no avail.  I have changed the sensitivity in Mame, but everyone seems to address that you need to pay attention to the mouse driver and settings as well.  Since the sensitivity in Mame helped the problem but did not eliminate it, what mouse settings in win XP should I change to eliminate this problem? Is there a new driver I should use?

Dizzle:
I'm noticing the same problem with my TT2 playing Tempest.  I haven't had time to research it a whole lot, but I think it has to do with the OS' poll rate (I believe you need to increase it).  I haven't fooled with it myself but I know there's some info on the wiki if a better answer doesn't get posted.

deano728:
I looked on wikipedia but did not find anything on poll rate.  Could you post a link to it or what term I should search for?

nuka1195:
theres a patch to fix that with later mame versions

Dizzle:
I'm sorry, I thought I included it.  Here's what I found on BYOAC's Wiki: http://wiki.arcadecontrols.com/wiki/Info_on_Serial/PS2/USB_Mouse_'Polling'

I didn't know about the patch that nuka mentioned.  May want to check that out first.
