: : 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? : I agree with you, this does not appear to be a spinner problem. With the Model 2, if the spinner moves at all, it is working correctly. The interface, it's drivers, and the MAME settings will determine it's performance. If it is also happening with a mouse, then something isn't right. : FYI - Tempest, Rev 1-3 and Tempest Tubes all work perfectly in MAME32 .58. Try deleting the tempest.cfg file or try a new rom and see if that helps. : : : 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 : : Slug54 : Try moving the spinner to the Trackball header and the trackball to the Rotary header on the Opti-Pac. This is the third time I've heard of this behavior, and trading places with the spinner and trackball has worked before. I have mentioned this to Andy so he is aware of it, too. You may try sending him an email asking about it. If there is a handwritten number on your Opti-Pac chip, please include that with your email to Andy as that may help. : : --Oscar
