Hi there

I've noticed that MAME assigns the following controller types to the following games:

Paddle: Ikari Warriors, Forgotten worlds
Stick: Outrun, Operation Thunderbolt, Sinister
Dial: Arkanoid, Super Sprint

Some of the designations seem hard to understand, eg Ikari Warrriors - paddle, and Outrun using a stick. Can someone please clarify?

Also, I would like to hear about anyone's experiences with substituting any of the above controllers with spinners or trackballs.

Thanks all.
