Once (if) I ever get this spinner to properly function, it's going on my HD display, the music and action are amazing...... I just have not been able to play using left / right as my spinner......

If anyone got the spinner to function properly, can I ask what / which spinner are you using??

And one more item to mention, when I leave the spinner plugged in and shut down the game, it seems to actually work properly, although only on one axis.....

I am using the Tornado spinner.... BTW....

Yep, that was it... Although the spinner does act on the game, I would need to spin it 1000X for the claw to circle once. I tried the windows setting for the pointer..... NG I tried to edit the Registry......NG I tried the hacked driver for the mouse/spinner and windows does not allow it as it is not a "signed" driver....... I guess I am S.O.L..........

Now I remember what was going on...... I was in fact able to load the spinner Mod but the issue was that the spinner was moving very very very slowly. Then I tried to load the hacked driver to enable the fast spinner rate but as it is not a signed driver and no matter what i did the OS kicks off the driver and resumed the normal super slow rate...........

I tried three different OS's and could not get the driver to work......

If anyone has the fixed .exe (signed driver) I would greatly appreciate it as I cannot make the unsigned driver function, Windows keeps kicking it back.....

I would really appreciate that as well..... I gave up on trying to make this work long ago........

Thanks guys......... The second controller is a mechanical encoder, the amount of electronics to allow the Tempest spinner to be used for the T2K will not fit into the plastic shell. Of course if I sent the design out and had it produced using SMD's, that would be a different story..... I also include a third D-Pad controller for entering high score etc. It's funny how they never allowed for the high score entering using the encoders, just does not make sense but I am glad that they work at all, it make a 1000% difference in game play. ~ Jeff

Hi, I know that this is an old thread but in case anyone is interested: https://www.classicarcaderestorations.com/tempest-2000 Just finished up the optical encoder install and I am pumped - far superior than the mechanical. Jeff
