We haven't worked on it at all. Other things coming first.
We would need our hands on the Eco adapter to implement any functionality.

Using spinner to play NG/JAMMA games
- Thread starter brizzo
- Start date
lmk when u need it.
Anyone still looking for a spinner, someone is selling a bunch of official Taito spinners at a very reasonable price: https://forums.arcade-museum.com/threads/all-things-arkanoid.532925/#post-4778978
Thanks for the heads up. Hoping I can grab a couple

is there any chance that a few more adapters will be made? I have a few games i would like to play, but with stick it just doesn't feel right
Hi @brizzoHey guys,
Reading through the threads on here you guys seem into custom controls. Thought you might find this older project of mine interesting
At one point in time a friend asked me if I could make a PCB from a schematic he had. Sure, why not?! What he sent me was the schematic by Nightmare Tony (who worked for SNK) to use a spinner to interface with joystick left/right. (Attached schematic)
I got so excited! I'm a big fan of Puzzle Bobble, what better way to play it?! There are a few games that benefit from playing this way.... but PUZZLE BOBBLE WITH SPINNERS!!!
Another friend suggested making it a jamma pass through connector, genius! Here is the resulting pcb design, with improvements for 2-player. Joysticks work properly with this installed too
It wasn't my plan to come on here and start selling, but I checked with Darksoft how I should handle it if anyone wanted to buy these. He told me to post here with a price
$48 USD each plus shipping costs (Shipping cost with tracking approx $12 for USA, $18-22 for International)
If you got any questions about pcb design, soldering, equipment I use, let me know
I am trying to follow the Neo Geo Steering Wheel Schematic-1 but without success.
Maybe I am doing something wrong, I know it's been a while and the party is probably over but would you be so kind as to share the project files of your adapter? so I can study where I am going wrong?
It would be very helpful, thanks in advance.

Do you still have any of these boards available? I'd like to purchase 2 of them if you do.I have (4) adapters tested and ready to go. Got parts on hand to build (more adapters.
Also found Molex 4 pin female housing and crimp pins (you can solder if you dont have crimpers). Can include 2 connectors and 8 pins for an extra $2 if you want to make your own harness (I do not have wire to make them for you)

At least once a week, I remember that I don't have the adapter and don't play certain games because it feels wrong with the stick.
Hopefully, the adapter will be available again one day.
Most wanted piece of hardware for me.

ive said it before and ill say it again... the Brizzo spinner is not really designed to function the same way as a spinner. it just pulses left or right really quickly to imitate spinner function. there is no variation in speed and the movement is not fluid like an actual spinner. it will work, yes, but not at the level you'd expect. if u wanna see for yourself, send me your address and ill sell mine for original price plus shipping.

Yes, I’ll give it a try. My Elf450 Tron and Tempest use the buttons to move, so from what you say, it’s worth a try. I’ll post the results and what spinner I used (I’ve got a collection trying to get this figured out). If you’ll send e an email, we can work out the payment and address. Thank you for offering it up!

if the game u have uses buttons for rotation or movement, u will need to adapt the adapter, since it takes joystick input and uses that for spinner movement.

@Philgrau86 I adapted the brizzo board for button inputs awhile back, worked well. A bit of a write up here:
I've wanted to play Forgotten Worlds for years, but long ago I came to the conclusion that because of rarity and price:
1. I'd never own the real Capcom spinners used in the actual game ( @Derick2k is working to change that
).
2. I’d never own the real board either
So with that in mind, I devised what I’d call a really elaborate way to play Forgotten Worlds, without using either the original board or spinners but still using real hardware.
While some might think this is a bit excessive and elaborate, it’s actually a part of this hobby I really enjoy. Doing something just...

Have you sold this board yet? I'm very interested in buying it from you. Let me know how you'd like to proceed with payment. I can be reached at [email protected]. Thanks-Phil
you pm brizzo?I PM you too, wish you have in stock
we are some looking for this pcb but no news at all :/
lol i try... Who know
