Or, I noticed that the voltage across my spinner was only +4. inkyblue2: Yeah sure You can use this thing as a volume knob. Spinners were used for many popular early arcade games such as Pong, Tempest, Arkanoid, and Tron. Spinners provide precise analog control like a mouse, but act only along one axis. Arkanoid’s spinner is actually harder than this one because of a gear train that makes the flywheel/sensor rotate much faster than the knob. A Spinner is a knob that can be spun rapidly in either direction to move an on-screen paddle or character. The only two things I can think of is if I either need to put my left and right outputs on multiple pins at the same time. Moreover, this type of control is called spinner exactly by the companies who sell it. The instructions on cps2shock in japanese just show a 10 pin connector going to a 4 pin connector on the spinner. Well, I tried moving my spinner's left and right outputs all around to different pins on CN2 with no luck getting the game to see it. After doing continuity tests, the four pins that are connected to those orange things give a high resistance rating to ground (like 915 ohms or so) while the pins not connected to the orange things give an infinite rating. If you look at the pictures of the adapter, it looks like there are four of those orange things (are those inductors?) next to CN2. A spinner has a 4-pin connector with the outer two pins being the left and right encoders, and the inner two pins being +5V and GND. I used a 3 way on, on, off switch that had 8 pins at the bottom. I am sure that there are better ways but this turned out pretty cool and works well. I searched here for instructions or guidelines but could not find anyso here is what I did. Pins 1 and 10 are +5V and GND, leaving 8 different pins to go to two spinners. 1 I wanted to share a cool way that I was able to add a trackball and a spinner to a 60:1 arcade. Well, I tried to fool around with the pinout with no luck. If you find out anything let me know as I would love to play mine with a spinner instead of a joystick. I'm pretty sure once you set it for the spinner it only uses left and right instead of all 8 directions. I wish there was an english version of the game. I tried searching and can't find any info on using the spinner but I would assume that it is exactly like the Taito F3 is where you can use either the joystick or spinner but for CPS2 instead setting a jumper you might have to activate it via the damn japanese menu. By looking at the PCB it looks like there is only 3 actual pins and the 4th is a ground. Only way to really find out what those pins are is to ground them 1 by 1. I've never seen that mini PCB before, did that come with your PL2 board? I didn't even know this game was played with a spinner until I just looked at the flyer and it has a picute with both a joystick and spinner. No I have it on CPS2, as far as the PS Analog I was talking about when i use a Jamma>PS2 converter I use.
