There are a few others, but the main one was Pong.
: I'm curious of the same - what games needs/uses dual spinners??
: One comment about your message though. I was going to put the extra 'Mame' buttons on my panel or somewhere accesible on my machine - similar to what you say you are going to do.
: With the latest MAME, you can use a 'Shift' Key to do the functions. Therefore, you don't have to add any add'l keys. If you feels it is absolutely necessary then just add one shift button.
: : I'm in the planning stages of my next control panel, and have heard some people mention that they are installing dual spinners. My question is, which games use dual spinners? This control panel is going to be much bigger than my last one (will be mounted in cabinet eventually), and I don't want to regret not putting in 2 spinners later if there is a good reason for it.
: : I'm planning on having 4x 8way Joysticks, 1x 3" trackball, 1x spinner (or maybe 2?), 6 buttons for P1 & P2, 4 buttons for P3 & P4, coin and start buttons for all, 2 extra buttons above the spinner (for Tron!) and then several general MAME buttons (Esc, Tab, etc.). I'm going to be using a KE72T for this.
: : Any input greatly appreciated.
