Spinners and Dials

Jcroach: /* [http://oscarcontrols.com/ Oscar Controls] */ spelling

A '''Spinner''' is a knob that can be spun rapidly in either direction to move an on-screen paddle or character. Spinners provide precise analog control like a mouse, but act only along one axis. Spinners were used for many popular early arcade games such as Pong, Tempest, Arkanoid, and Tron.
{{Cleanup}}

=What is a Spinner?=

You might remember the spinner from games like Tempest and Arkanoid. The player turns a knob to move the on-screen character. But what's going on behind the scenes; what's that knob attached to?

Underneath the control panel, the shaft comes down from the knob above. Mounted on the shaft, is an optical encoder wheel- a flat disk with notches cut around the outside edge. These notches pass though a set of infra-red optics, that detect the notches as they spin by. There are two sets of optics, spaced such that they see the notches spin by just a little bit out of sync. The combined signal from both of these optics tells the game which direction the disk is turning, and how fast. This is also how a trackball works, as well as a ball-type PC mouse.

If you are buying or building a working spinner for your cabinet, you will need the Spinner (the mechanical part,) the optics(the part that watches the spinning,) and the optical encoder (the part that sends info to the computer.) If a manufacturer advertises "USB Connectivity" that generally means that it is an all in one solution, and no additional parts are required. Otherwise, you'll find that optics are generally included, but an encoder is not. In the rare occurence that your spinner does not have optics included, they can be built with parts from your local electronic store, or you can build them based off of a [[Optical_Encoders#Mouse_Hack|mouse hack.]] If the unit does not ship with an optical encoder, you can purchase one from an aftermarket seller. You can find out more about [[Optical_Encoders|optical encoders here.]]

Note: Paddles, while similar to spinners in that they rotate and have knobs, are usually based on potentiometers (like a volume knob on an old TV or radio), rather than the optics in a spinner. Spinners, as the name suggests, spin. There is no end to how many times the knob can fully rotate in any direction. They often move things in a game in a circular fashion, as in Tempest or TRON. Paddles are the precursor to the spinner. The paddles found on early arcade games (like pong) rotated a full 360 degrees but used a 360 potentiometer (or pot) rather than an optical encoder. Since a pot requires physical contact, they tend to spin less freely than a true spinner. MAME adds to confusion by classifying 270 degree steering wheels as paddles. This is false as most, if not all arcade games that actually used paddles used 360 degree paddles and 270 degree wheels used a regular linear potentiometer (like a radio knob, which can only turn so far). There is such a thing as a 270 degree paddle though, just to make things even more confusing. As a matter of fact, many pong clones used the 270 degree paddles as they were cheaper. Most of your home versions of pong also used the 270 degree paddles. Most emulators will let you play paddle games with a spinner, but spinner games are generally not playable with paddles, mostly due to the fact that paddles just don't spin that well.

=Spinner Varieties=

#Tempest- Fast spinning lightweight spinner, which is very popular with arcade enthusiassts. It has 72 teeth on the encoder wheel, with nylon upper and lower bearings on the shaft. This was the model for the Oscar Vortex aftermarket spinner.
#Arkanoid- The "geared" spinner. Rather than mounting the encoder wheel directly to the shaft, the Arkanoid spinner used two sets of gears between the knob and the encoder wheel, to make the spinner extremely sensitive. While the encoder wheel only has 24 notches, the gearing causes 486 notches to pass through the optics for every turn of the knob! Due to the lightweight and friction from the gearing, the Arkanoid spinner stops the instant you take your hand off the knob.
#360° Steering Wheels - Games like the original Pole Position and Sprint 2 used steering wheels that were essentially giant spinners. The Pole Position steering wheel, for instance, was geared similarly to an Arkanoid spinner. However, the gear ratio was only 5:1 to a 24 notch encoder wheel (96 notches per wheel revolution). This and the mechanical advantage of the large steering wheel rather than a small knob, let the wheel spin freely. Sprint 2 (and Sprint 1, and probably Sprints 4 and 8)used an ungeared 38 notch encoder cup, and spun freely.
#Discs of Tron ''Push/Pull''- This spinner used a giant 128-notch encoder wheel with a push / pull switch feature built into the spindle shaft. When the player pulled up or down on the spinner, a leafswitch was activated. This was used to control the high / low aim of the disc in later levels of the game. Zwackery also used a Push/Pull spinner, and Forgotten Worlds used a push only (no pull) spinner. Oscar Controls marketed a Push/Pull spinner with a slightly different design, and a smaller 72 notch encoder wheel, but it is no longer available for purchase. The Oscar V2 had a Push option, and a Pull kit was rumored to be in the works before Oscar Controls closed down.

==[http://oscarcontrols.com/ Oscar Controls]==
Oscar Controls was a popular manufacturer of spinners for the hobbyist market until recently. Several models were produced over the years, including the Model One, Pro, Vortex, Push/Pull, and V2. These spinners did not include an encoder and required connection to an [[Optical_Encoders#Opti-PAC|Opti-Pac]] or to a [[Optical_Encoders#Mouse_Hack|mouse hack]].

==[http://www.slikstik.com/spinfeat.htm SlikStik]==
The Tornado is billed as the "longest spinning" spinner on the market, the Tornado is currently the spinner that's been on the market the longest. With an extra-small footprint, and dual-bearing design, the Tornado is very well made. Several knob options are also available. The Tornado comes with it's own USB or PS/2 interface. Plans to sell the Tornado with a plain-jane optic card have also been announced.
==[http://GroovyGameGear.com GroovyGameGear]==
The successor to their original TurboTwist, the TurboTwist 2 is relatively new to the spinner scene. The most instantly noticeable feature of this spinner is its very small footprint; it is designed to fit a standard 1 1/8" pushbutton hole and occupies little more space inside the control panel. The TurboTwist 2 has a dual ball-bearing design with all components sealed inside its housing. The TurboTwist 2 has an extra-high resolution encoder wheel, and comes with it's own USB or PS/2 Opti-Wiz interface. The interface can be configured to put the spinner on the X, Y, or Z mouse axis, and will control other optic devices on the remaining two axes, such as a trackball, or additional spinners/steering wheels/optical rotary joysticks. Several optional extras are also available for the TurboTwist 2, such as a novel mini steering-wheel and a heavy 'energy storage cylinder'.
==[http://ArcadeGames4U.com ArcadeGames4U]==
The cyclone is also new to the market. It has a dual-bearing design, with a lower resolution encoder wheel. The Cyclone ships with an optic card, but no interface.
==[http://www.apachecontrols.com/ Apache Controls]==
This is very good looking new addition to the market. Ever since the original Atari Discs Of Tron push-pull NOS spinners disappeared from the market and Oscar Controls stopped producing their push-pull spinners, they have been highly sought after by collectors and arcade restorers. This is currently the only Discs of Tron style push/pull spinner being manufactured. For further details take a look at the [http://www.retroblast.com/reviews/apache-070106-01.html RetroBlast review] of this spinner.
==[http://www.ultimarc.com Ultimarc]==
Ultimarc recently announced their own contribution to the spinner market. The SpinTrak uses a sealed-component design (the encoder wheel and other components are protected inside the spinners housing) and is compatible with SlikStik's custom spinner knobs.

==Two Spinners on a control panel; is it worth it?==
The answer is an unequivocal ''maybe''. There are several factors to keep in mind when trying to determine whether you should buy and install 2 spinners on your control panel.
#Budget- Spinners are somewhat expensive. Buying 2 aftermarket spinners with optics will set you back about $80-$160.
#Software- Can your software support 2 mice at the same time. Make sure you have a version of mame that can support 2 spinners if they're both individual USB units. If you have them both plugged into an [[Optical_Encoders#Opti-PAC|Optipac]] this won't be a problem.
#Space- Depending on the model, spinners can take up a lot of room under the surface of a control panel. The Oscar Controls Push/Pull spinner was approximately 5.5x6" for instance. Also, the more spinners you have, the less room you may have for other features and joysticks.
#Games- Most importantly, do you like any games that use more than 1 spinner? Below is a (non-definitive) list of multi-spinner games
##Paddle Games
###Arkanoid Returns
###Off the Wall (Atari)
###Off the Wall (Bally Sente)
###Warlords (uses 4!)
###Pop'n Bounce
###Plump Pop
###VS Blok Breaker
##Flying
###Blasteroids
###Two Tigers
##Driving
###Super Off Road
### Super Sprint (uses 3!)
###Championship Super Sprint
###Bad Lands
###Ironman Ivan Stewart's Super Off-Road (uses 3!)
###Ironman Stewart's Super Off-Road Track Pack (uses 3!)
###Danny Sullivan's Indy Heat

== What is MAME? ==
('''M'''ultiple '''A'''rcade '''M'''achine '''E'''mulator) is one of (if not the) most widely used videogame emulators. Currently, it supports over six thousand different arcade games. Standard versions of MAME can be found at [http://www.mame.net MAME.net], intermediate versions and development notes are at [http://www.mamedev.org MAMEDev.org].

Since MAME is an open source project, many people have created modified versions with various extra tweaks and features. You can find some versions on it's own page ([[Mame Modified Versions]]).

== Dedicated cabinet info ==
MAME is the main reason, you create your own arcade controls and put MAME into your cabinet.

The default MAME keys to wire your controls to can be found at: http://www.mameworld.net/easyemu/mameguide/mamecontrol.htm

== How do I set it up? ==
[[Mame_Lightgun_Setup|Setting up Lightguns/Multiple Analog devices]]

== Support Files ==
MAME or its modified versions support extra files form of cheats, high score saving, and more.

=== Cheat ===
Cheating is useful for both players and developers. Cheating allows players to get past difficult situations and it let's developers test games without having to be good at all the games.

Before MAME version 0.127, cheating could be enabled using a .DAT file. Since version 0.127, cheating is enabled used a zipped .XML file. The cheat.dat file is not compatible with the latest versions of MAME.

'''Pre-0.127 Homepage:''' http://cheat.retrogames.com/

'''Post-0.127 Homepage:''' http://cheat.retrogames.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3110
 

=== High Score ===
Hiscore.dat is a complimentary file to help MAME in saving high scores in version 0.32 to 0.107u1. Most MAME games save their high scores by default, but over 2500 games do not save their high scores.

The Hiscore.dat file tells Mame some additional information and how to read and store the high scores using the /hi directory instead of /nvram.

As of MAME version 0.107u1, however, Hiscore.dat is no longer supported. Hiscore.dat has been replaced by the use of save states due to issues that the file caused with proper emulation.

Hiscore support can be added back into Mame using MKChamp's Hiscore diff patches. For more information visit: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=64298.0

'''Homepage:''' http://www.mameworld.net/highscore/
 

=== Command.dat ===
[[Image:command.png|right|thumb|Command.dat screenshot]]
Commands can be shown either in game or in a front end. Commands allow users to view, among other things, the individual command lists for games. This is especially usefull for Fighting Games, but can also show users what individual buttons (and combinations) do without having to press them all. The screenshot is from within MAME Plus!

'''Homepage:''' http://home.comcast.net/~plotor/command.html

''Note: Command.dat isn't supported by the official MAME build - a [[Mame_Modified_Versions | Modified Version of MAME]] is required. Alternatively [[Other Software|Johnny 5]] and [[Other Software|CPWizard]] can read command.dat files''
 

=== Artwork ===
[[Image:frogs.png|right|thumb|Frogs with artwork enabled]]
In game artwork is supported in MAME in versions 0.61 and later. Some arcade machines had images inside them onto which the screen was projected, had artwork overlaid on the monitor or had LED lights on the cabinet that were illuminated during game play. This can't be emulated but is instead simulated with a digital picture of the artwork. Some games, like Frogs, Video Pinball, Drag Race, Armor Attack and Warrior are nearly impossible to play without the original artwork. Other games have elaborate decorative monitor bezels that are not functional but many fans feel they add to the arcade experience.

Starting with version 0.107, MAME began to supports hi-resolution artwork and changed the file format for the layout (from .art to .lay). Pre-0.107 artwork with .art layout files will not work with MAME version 0.107 and later.

To use these files, save them to the /artwork directory.

'''Post-MAME 0.107 Homepage:''' http://www.mameworld.net/mrdo/mame_artwork.html
 

=== Controls ===
Controls.dat holds a more detailed input list of control types and button labels for many games in mame. ''Like commands.dat, controls.dat isn't supported by the official MAME build, and [[Other Software|Johnny 5]] and [[Other Software|CPWizard]] can read controls.dat files.''

'''Homepage:''' http://fe.donkeyfly.com/controls/controls.php

== I upgraded MAME/MAME32/MameUI and now I get errors that files/roms are missing. Why? ==
As MAME progresses, romsets are sometimes changed to more accurately reflect the original hardware. There are several reasons the romsets 'change'. Here are some of them (courtesy of u_rebelscum): 
Case 1: bad dump now replaced by good dump 
Case 2: incomplete dump (X chip now emulated now needs Y ROM not needed before) 
Case 3: new dump from confirmed source, old dump from unreliable/unknown source 
Case 4: new dump is real release, old dump is hacked board 
Case 5: new dump is real release, old dump is prototype 
Case 6: new dump is wider release, old dump is local release 

The first three add/replace to a ROM, the last three usually involve renaming. The short answer is that you need to find a correct romset for the version of MAME you are using, as old romsets may not work with a newer version of MAME.

As of MAME version 0.107u1, however, Hiscore.dat is no longer supported. Hiscore.dat has been replaced by the use of save states due to issues that the file caused with proper emulation.

Hiscore support can be added back into Mame using MKChamp's Hiscore diff patches. For more information visit: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=64298.0

=== Command.dat ===
[[Image:command.png|right|thumb|Command.dat screenshot]]
Commands can be shown either in game or in a front end. Commands allow users to view, among other things, the individual command lists for games. This is especially usefull for Fighting Games, but can also show users what individual buttons (and combinations) do without having to press them all. The screenshot is from within MAME Plus!

'''Homepage:''' http://home.comcast.net/~plotor/command.html

''Note: Command.dat isn't supported by the official MAME build - a [[Mame_Modified_Versions | Modified Version of MAME]] is required. Alternatively [[Other Software|Johnny 5]] and [[Other Software|CPWizard]] can read command.dat files''
 

=== Artwork ===
[[Image:frogs.png|right|thumb|Frogs with artwork enabled]]
In game artwork is supported in MAME in versions 0.61 and later. Some arcade machines had images inside them onto which the screen was projected, had artwork overlaid on the monitor or had LED lights on the cabinet that were illuminated during game play. This can't be emulated but is instead simulated with a digital picture of the artwork. Some games, like Frogs, Video Pinball, Drag Race, Armor Attack and Warrior are nearly impossible to play without the original artwork. Other games have elaborate decorative monitor bezels that are not functional but many fans feel they add to the arcade experience.

Starting with version 0.107, MAME began to supports hi-resolution artwork and changed the file format for the layout (from .art to .lay). Pre-0.107 artwork with .art layout files will not work with MAME version 0.107 and later.

To use these files, save them to the /artwork directory.

=== Controls ===
Controls.dat holds a more detailed input list of control types and button labels for many games in mame. ''Like commands.dat, controls.dat isn't supported by the official MAME build, and [[Other Software|Johnny 5]] and [[Other Software|CPWizard]] can read controls.dat files.''

== I upgraded MAME/MAME32/MameUI and now I get errors that files/roms are missing. Why? ==
As MAME progresses, romsets are sometimes changed to more accurately reflect the original hardware. There are several reasons the romsets 'change'. Here are some of them (courtesy of u_rebelscum): 
Case 1: bad dump now replaced by good dump 
Case 2: incomplete dump (X chip now emulated now needs Y ROM not needed before) 
Case 3: new dump from confirmed source, old dump from unreliable/unknown source 
Case 4: new dump is real release, old dump is hacked board 
Case 5: new dump is real release, old dump is prototype 
Case 6: new dump is wider release, old dump is local release 

The first three add/replace to a ROM, the last three usually involve renaming. The short answer is that you need to find a correct romset for the version of MAME you are using, as old romsets may not work with a newer version of MAME.

== What is MAME? ==
('''M'''ultiple '''A'''rcade '''M'''achine '''E'''mulator) is one of (if not the) most widely used videogame emulators. Currently, it supports over six thousand different arcade games.

Since MAME is an open source project, many people have created modified versions with various extra tweaks and features. You can find some versions on it's own page ([[Mame Modified Versions]]).

== Dedicated cabinet info ==
