hi guys. i just got the spinner ultra....sweeeeet
but i am not as well versed with mapping all the buttons so i do not understand the basic lingo. i can do stuff if i'm told where to go and what to do.
is there a diagram sheet that shows where or how to access all the functions on that lcd display screen at the bottom of the device. and what all the shorthand means in the display
btw...right now i use the old mame129 dos and roms i have from 15-20 years ago. i also use the old mame32v66b windows emu. yeah they're pretty old but that's all i need and i only play the old platform games from the 80s

Hi again!
Sound like you are saying the spinner part is working and you are only having trouble with buttons. Based on the photo you sent, here is what might be the cause.
I also assume your regular mouse also works with your mame games, including your mouse buttons?
The Problem: Your screen says Mouse+GP. This stands for 'Mouse plus Gamepad.' In this mode, the device splits the buttons up: some act like mouse clicks, and others act like joystick buttons. Since you MAME might be configured to primarily only use a mouse, your game is likely ignoring the buttons that are acting like a joystick.
Try this first: You need to switch the unit to pure Mouse Mode.
-
Hold down the Small Blue Button.
-
While holding it, tap the Black Button (on the back/side).
-
Keep doing this until the screen just says Mouse (without the '+GP').
Then
-
Press the Black Button to open the menu.
-
Scroll down to Mouse Buttons.
-
Here you can see each button on the device and what their function in. make sure your big buttons are mapped to 'Left Click' and 'Right Click", they might be set to none.
Based on your photo you sent me via email separately, here is exactly what your screen is telling you:
- Mouse+GP = Mouse plus Game Controller mode - In this mode, the device acts like a mouse and gamepad at as time and splits the buttons up: some act like mouse clicks, and others act like joystick buttons.
-
P: 2 = Preset #2. The spinner has 10 memory slots. You are currently on slot 2. This lets you save different button layouts for different games so you don't have to remap them every time you switch games.
- Left = Left Analog Stick on the Game Controller.  This means the device is also sending spinner position to your computer as a Left Analog stiick on the game controller your computer sees.
-
D: H = Direction is Horizontal. This is perfect for the platform/paddle games you mentioned.
-
S: VH = Sensitivity is Very High. You barely need to touch the spinner to move.
-
(Missing A) = Acceleration is OFF. You don't see an 'A' on your screen right now because it is set to 0. This gives you 1:1 movement—exactly what old-school DOS MAME usually prefers!
here is a quick attempt on the diagram attached.
Let me know if this helps.  In the meantime, we will also work on improving the documentation based on your feedback. Thank you for the great input.
