I have a mame machine with a spinner and I was wondering how many degrees you needed to turn the spinner to go from the left side of the screen to the right side of the screen on the original machine. 
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

First off... You can adjust the spinner speed per degree therefore I can have any sensitivity I want. Thus rendering your argument invalid.
When I played the true arkanoid I didn't need to do several rotations just to go from one side of the screen to the other...
Does someone know how many degrees I need to turn the spinner to do one edge of the screen to the other?
Nevertheless, there are signals from analog controls that MAME cannot interpret because the MAME development team hasn't seen a reason to do so, because they consider control response "close enough".
"Random stupid crap"? You obviously wouldn't know crap if it was right under your nose.Would you please stop posting random stupid crap in this post?
Of course they are optical. They are digital controls that are suppose to simulate analog controls. And that's the part that MAME does not emulate exactly the way Arkanoid does.First off; The controls are not analog. They're optical (digital). Who's the newbie? http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=6916
Controls CLEARLY states (rotary: optical.)
And you are still wrong. There can be many speeds when rotating between two points. I said control response.Second; It's possible to calibrate the spinner to reach one side of the screen to the other with 120 degree and to make sure the center is 60 degree. Knowing the right rotation angle will make it possible to calibrate the spinner to be exactly like the original machine.
Third; After reading all this nonsense I'm not even positive that the 120 to 130 degree is even accurate.. What to expect someone who argues about machine controls when he don't even know what type of control it uses.
My spinner knob is larger than yours.
