Jakks Star Wars Motion Controller

Anyone seen one of these?  I'm wondering if it might be a good start
for a Star Wars cab.

Do you mean gutting it and using it for a homemade cabinet?

[vidmouse]

Yes, either that or making use of the controls it already has in it
to play MAME, other games.

That games looks like more fun then the original

Cool.....might have to get one and see what can be done with it

Now, I know it's yours and you can do whatever you want with it, but I think you're destroying a piece of arcade gaming history here if you MAME this or use it in a cab.  I mean, seriously.  The people at KLOV would crucify you - just get it into the hands of someone that wants it and let them have it.  Go buy a Dynamo cab.

Hehe....

Seriously though, anyway to hack this into a Star Wars controller of some sort?  That's the last damn control I need...well, that and paperboy.

I'm going to check out the games on it first, and just may keep it as-is if I like them.

Can't think of too many games that use this type of controller anyway to warrant
a full cab in my already-overcrowded house:

Star Wars
Empire Strikes Back
Spy Hunter (sort of)
others...?

I must say, those graphics are AWESOME! (and that video is RIDICULOUS).

But...since it's motion sensors not sure if it's worth it over some type of pot/mouse hack.  With it mounted down onto a CP, it may play like complete crap.  Still, interested in seeing if it can be wired into a cab and how it works.
