: It is like a spinner control, but it has two large optical wheels (stacked on top of each other). One is like you would normally see, with many teeth, and the other is for calibration, which has only one tooth.

One tooth? Hmm, I wonder how it works? I wonder if the same layout (those two optical wheels) could work with a normal mouse to spinner hack? Maybe I'll try it when I'm not as busy.

: Actually, that chain is just for tension adjustment, you can tweak it for rotation resistance.

: I bought one off ebay a while ago and haven't tried to interface it yet. I have a Happs optical board that i will hook up to a KE72. I'm just worried about getting it calibrated (getting your guy to face the way you're pointing)

Always has been the problem in mame, and the arcades too. Remember that you would have to turn off mouse acceleration. ;-)

: I will be working on this soon and will let you know..(but it might be a while)

It would be great to know how it went when you're done. But no hurries. :)

Good luck on it when you try, though!
