MAME: Analog+ How-To-Use
720° Arcade Circular Spinner Joystick
MAME modification
Note: For the most part, the information on this page is obselete. As of Mame 142, support for the 720 arcade joystick has been added to the official Mame build, so there is no longer any need to run an old version of Mame Analog+ or build your own old version of Mame in order to use the 720 arcade joystick.
Here's a quick guide to help you out if you have troubles setting up MAME: Analog+ to work with 720°. Some of the settings are not intuitive, mostly because there are so many different control methods for the game. Therefore (in some cases) it may be necessary to read this because you probably won't be able to figure it out on your own.
