In Reply to: I just posted replies to about 10 posts, now see if you all can help me with questions concerning spinner to mouse hack. posted by Agent Davis on 22, 2001 at 7:04 PM:
I had originally hacked my Blasteroids Atari spinner with a mouse. You need to located the X-axis led emitter and receiver on the mouse pcb, and align it with the encoder wheel on the spinner. I hope the picture shows it clearly enough. I know this looks kinda rough, which is why I came up with the OSCAR. It did work well, though, but I wasn't happy with the way the Atari spinner felt. The "action" just didn't feel right.
