Cores that support an USB Spinner

Unread post by pseudopod52 »

Just bought a GRS USB spinner. Great product at a reasonable price.
Found only Arkanoid and Disc of Tron supporting this sort of device. Or there any other?
Tried to use this spinner in SMS Megumi Rescue game, didn't work.

I believe there are a few arcade games that support the spinner.

Found a console game that supports this USB spinner. Famicon's "Flying Hero". Really fun and challenging. Game done by the same studio that did
"Megumi Rescue" for SMS. Select "Vaus" under Input Peripheral.
Too bad Megumi Rescue does not support mouse input.

I saw this post and added paddle controller support for SMS.
USB spinner and mouse will be available in the next release.

NES/Famicon Arkanoid also support USB Spinner. Again select Vaus in input option. Unfortunately doing same for Arkanoid II does not work.
Also SNES Arkanoid: Revenge of Doh does not support spinner (I think in the real game, only regular controller is used).

Does anyone know if these would work as spinners? https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07SZDYPVR/

I'm curious if they are continuous or stop after 1 full rotation

I've got the GRS spinner and it's super nice. The 2600 and 7800 cores also support spinners.

I'd love for the Apple II core to support it, but sadly, it doesn't seem to be the case.
