There are really no Puzzle Bobble/Bust-A-Move type games that use a spinner?! I mean, that's what you would intuitively think the original controls are, wouldn't you? :dunno

The problem with looking at maws is maws only lists one input type per game. So if a game has, for example, a dipswitch to switch between using a joystick and a spinner, maws will only list "8way joy".
That's where ROM Lister is the way go. I got (no clones):
bublbob2 Bubble Bobble II
bubblem Bubble Memories: The Story Of Bubble Bobble III
pbobble2 Puzzle Bobble 2
pbobble3 Puzzle Bobble 3
pbobble4 Puzzle Bobble 4
The search string was:
(rotary | dial) & (!cloneof & !emulation=preliminary) & !('BIOS') & (bubble | bobble | puzzle)
(grey out the inputs you don't care if they have or not)
Anyway, all these games have both 8-way joys and spinners and no dipswitches, so I'd guess you start the game press F2 and set the input to spinner in the game's settings menu.

Hmm...a little stumped. I loaded up Puzzle Bobble 2, and it does have Dial control settings in mame, but they don't work by default, and there seems to be nothing in the F2 menu to enable it. (There isn't a DIP switch menu, either).

Hehe, I can't help picturing this in my mind :)
Bobulus... do you have 'mouse' enabled in mame.ini?
