Hand brake on cabinets?
Fursphere:
So I fired up Need for Speed Hot Pursuit this morning for the first time (bought it on sale, just haven't had a change to play it until now).
This game (and Dirt 3 actually) actually use a "hand brake" (e-brake) setting, and it appears to be required to really play the game in NFS:HP
Has anyone mounted one successfully on a Sega still cabinet? (and made it not look like a horrible after thought... lol)
BadMouth:
>:D No! Horrible idea. Definitely don't bid against me on ebay the next time one comes up. ;)
The one on Brad808's cab is pretty sweet.

While we're looking at a pic of a "real" arcade cabinet, I wish mine had speakers behind the ears in the chair. That's really the one thing I'm missing.
The handbrake looks like something could fabricate honestly. Do you have a picture of the insides of that thing?

I'll upload some tonight for you. It's a basic microswitch inside with some rubber stops to give it feeling.
Edit: there's actually a picture of it cracked open in the thread badmouth linked too. That's probably the only one I have of it. I really don't want to take it apart unless you guys really need to see it.

Even in a real car all a handbrake is, is a metal stick on a bolt for pivoting. Of course it's attached to the brake cable as well, but I'm just saying.... stick on a hinge, that's all it is. Go down to the hardware store, get a metal pipe... drill a hole in one end and put a bicycle handlebar grip on the other.... you are essentially done barring maybe a spring or something for stiffness.
