Recommendations for gas pedal?
« on: March 10, 2010, 09:44:23 am »
Just in the planning stages for now, but I'm thinking of adding a gas pedal to my Mame cab. Does anyone have a recommendation? Could be a new Happ part, or perhaps a part from an existing dedicated cab. I'm thinking primarily for Pole Position. On a side note; is PP's pedal pot or switch based?

Atari used pots for PP I think.  I know they used pots for Champinship and Super Sprint.

Looks like you're right - I pulled up the manual for PP; the accelerator is analog, and the brake is digital (for cockpits). Damn, looks like I need another interface to get this working!

Why, don't most people just stand on the gas and drive by braille in games anyway.   :laugh2:
