I just got my new oscar spinner and I have it connected to an opti-pac.
I am running mame32 v.58 . my first problem is with tempest, The claw moves eraticaly or not at all I believe this to be a mame32 config prob
because this game works perfectly with spinner from dos version of mame
I am using dial speed of 10 and sensitivity of 150 , note that super breakout and arkanoid both work perfectly in mame32 and dos version .56
I don't think this is a spinner problem because tempest behaves the same way when I use the mouse. any ideas?

My next problem is the opti-pac is using a "first moved" system to determine which control you want use. when playing games like super break out and you are waiting for the next ball to be served if you don't move the spinner for 5 seconds it times out and I think the "first moved logic kicks in so when you finally do move the spinner the first part of the movement is "eaten" or not registered and then the control will move.
anyone else have this problem or know a way around it

I have a trackball connected to player 1 trackball input and the spinner connected to player 2 rotary input. it also did this when both controls were connected to player 1 inputs

If anyone has any ideas on either of these 2 problems please let me know.

Thanks
