prueba Posted October 17 Posted October 17 I recently bought an Xtension Emulator Edition Plus Arcade Board and now I’m configuring it to play my favorite games. I don`t have any problems with the games that require normal joysticks, but I have my doubts with spinner, trackball and analog stick games. I have searched and found websites and forums where they give you values to emulate those devices so that it is as similar as possible to the actual arcade experience, but I’m not always sure if some of those values are right as it seems off when playing. I will start asking about five games and give my opinion, and if you could do the same or if you disagree, say what values you have, I would be very grateful. Centipede (trackball): original settings my settings trackball x increment/decrement speed 10 0 trackball x reverse on on trackball x sensitivity 50 50 trackball y increment/decrement speed 10 0 trackball y reverse off off trackball y sensitivity 50 50 In forums I see 50 for sensitivity and it seems ok. I think the increment/decrement speed does not play a role here and it can be set to 0 if desired. Crystal Castles (trackball): original settings my settings trackball y increment/decrement speed 30 0 trackball y reverse on on trackball y sensitivity 10 50 trackball x increment/decrement 30 0 trackball x reverse off off trackball x sensitivity 10 50 In forums I see 50 for the sensitivity and it also seems ok. As before, increment/decrement speed is irrelevant. Kick (dial/trackball): original setings my settings dial increment/decrement speed 50 0 dial reverse on on dial sensitivity 3 7 Here I have been reading that you can use either a spinner or a trackball. As the arcade had originally a trackball, I have selected this option for the values and it seems to play fine. Blasteroids (dial): original settings my settings dial increment/decrement speed 10 0 dial reverse off off dial sensitivity 60 24 According to forums 24 to 29 is the ideal when playing with a spinner. As there is no second dial, when playing with 2 players simultaneously, second player has to use joystick to turn and the 10/off/60 is ok for it. Marble Madness (trackball): original settings my settings trackball x increment/decrement speed 30 0 trackball x reverse on on trackball x sensitivity 30 100 trackball y increment/decrement speed 30 0 trackball y reverse off off trackball y sensitivity 30 100 This is the one where according to forums 100 is the best option, but for me it doesn’t feel quite right. This is also one of the few games where I miss having an arcade board with 2 spinners and 2 trackballs, so that two players can play with no advantage whatsoever. Or does such an arcade board exist? I’m interested to hear your experience and if you agree with the values I posted or if you would select others, as it is always a subjective matter, although as I said before, I tried to selct the values that are closer to the original arcade experience (according to the ones who posted them) as I don’t have the ability to check it by myself.
