I don't know if anybody has tried this before but I figured I'd post this just in case.

Today I picked up a Wico Spinner Control to try to add to my control panel. I figured it wouldn't be too difficult. After noticing that the control only has the output from the optics I opend up an extra mouse. All I needed to do to get it to work was give it 5V & Grnd and I then hooked the 2 remaining spinner connectors to the x-axis optics of the mouse. Works great so far but I have not yet tried all the games in MAME that would use a spinner. Hopefully the game settings in MAME will be all I need to make this work for each game.
