[QUOTE="rehtroboi40, post: 280426, member: 1406"] I should clarify-with MAME there's some know-how to get the trackball feeling right with Centipede/Millipede. At the default setting-It's still much closer than the Atari Vault (on Steam) versions of those games. And Tempest requires adjustments to get the spinner feeling right. It can be done, and the options are there in MAME if you can put in the time. I would suggest forgoing the trackball with Star Wars-it's better with the mouse and that's not saying too much. Full disclosure-we have a nearby Retro Arcade that has Centipede and Tempest. Having been playing those extensively lately, I may be a little prejudiced. They do a great job keeping Tempest and Star Wars vector monitors running, but have had to fix each one several times in nearly a year. So yes, the X-Arcade is still a viable plan b, but not for the Atari Vault IMO. On a side note, that retro arcade also has 14 pinball machines-and they work tirelessly on those. Odd that they have had to do so much with their four brand new out-of-the-box Sterns. Hmmm...….. [/QUOTE]
