Yeah, If you can find one... + the joystick itself is totally
useless for MAME

Dunno if it`s useless for MAME. Unless I`m missing something , it
looks like Tron could be easier to play. Now that WOULD be nice....

Its very good for Discs of Tron because you can use the hat control
for aiming up and down as well. The Wingman's spin control is better
than keyboard for games like midnight resistance, heavy barrel etc.
but not as good as the original arcarde stick with the "fixed step"
rotating head.

OK , Jason. I`ve got a Wingman Warrior in front of me, properly
installed etc... but can`t get it to work right. The joystick is OK,
but the spinner won`t work? I`ve tried every setting, blah blah, but
to no avail.What did you do to make it work ?
I may have missed something, which is why I`ve asked my MAME expert
to come over next week to help me out. But Arkanoid + Tron are so
close.....( it`s a God-damned good dial/spinner ).
<p>
Be glad to hear of any suggestions from anyone...
<p>
AL ( who thought tonight was the night when Arkanoid could be
properly played.........sigh )

I'm not sure, but doesn't it work on Windows-MAME only. Try:
Options,Default Options, Controllers---default input layout:
standard, and X into "use joystick's spinners"
<p>
First make sure it works on Windows, look at control panel, game
controllers...
<p>
OOps, readme.txt says that you can add an option "-joy wingwarrior"
into commandline: That must mean DOS version.
<p>
Am I going to get my ass kicked on Tron now
<p>

popped and broke other components too I think, going to cost me much :

Yeah, I tried all those options. It`s just the spinner which is
giving me the problem. Everything else is OK. I`ll keep 'fiddling'
around with it until I get it to work.
<p>
As for whipping your ass at Tron....doubt it ! But it only took my
friend 4 weeks to learn to play indefinitely ( arcade-days, that is),
so who knows
<p>
Actually, I`ll try using a DOS version. Never thought of that. Thanks
for the idea.
<p>
Later....

Al, tell us if/when you get it working, and how how you did it. I
bought WingWar about year back, but couldn't get it work on MAME
either. I returned it to shop...

Tommi, no luck. I thought I almost had it. I was using TGMAME with
A@H front-end , and there was a drop-down menu with lots of different
input devices , WW included. Sweating profusely , I started-up
Arkanoid , but nothing worked. It didn`t even recognise the stick or
buttons.
It`s just not fair
