​​

Tron
Their is a switch on the side of the case that changes the joystick from 4 to 8 way
The original machine had a 4 way joystick with a flexible gate so it could be forced when necessary (Cone and Spiders) into the diagonal directions. 
Light Cycles and Tanks are best played in 4 way as they are  really hard to control in 8 way.
The games are random and start fast so what I do is have the switch in 4 way and then if its an 8 way game that starts (cone or spiders) I flick the switch down quickly to 8 way.

 

Disks of Tron
The 2 buttons on the side of the case are for raising and lowering the aiming point needed in later levels of Discs of Tron. They have been put here so you can reach them while still holding the spinners knob. The 2 buttons in the centre do the same thing but are harder to reach.
    
Other Spinner Games
The Tron controller can also be used to play spinner games like Arkanoid and Tempest. For anyone who use their right hand for the spinner use the 2 fire buttons on the side of the case. And for any who uses the left hand use the 2 centre buttons.
These will need to be remapped in mame settings as they are set as buttons 3 and 4 for use with disks of tron. 

Mad Planets

Great game with the same control layout as Tron. Worth Playing

 

Gorf
Gorf is a great game to practice using the flight stick. Gorf originally used a flight stick and it just feels right.  
 

Spinner sensitivity settings Tron = 11 Disk of Tron = 11 Mad Planets = 3
