--- Quote from: leapinlew on January 09, 2017, 06:43:09 am ---And maybe I missed it but what are you using to connect the Yoke to the PC? I'm interested in the game list - does everything work pretty well? Mine doesn't have the same list of games as yours does, so I'm interested in the front end and configuration you picked. --- End quote --- Go update your build log thread, the SW isn't even on there man. Housekeeping matters yo! |

Man, this is all kinds of awesome. It would of been cool if you could have incorporated some of the three dimensional bezel relief of the original upright. Can't wait to see iit finished....Im really jealous. Looks awesome, awesome game as well. I love that marquee. Did you light the Death Star individually? Looks cool! |

Rather than keep referring people to other threads I'll just quote some quotes here to put things in one place. About the gamelist --- Quote from: Le Chuck on November 05, 2016, 11:06:03 am ---So over the last year I've tried a number of games and have whittled down the list a fair amount, so this won't be a list of all yoke compatible games. Instead, this will be a list of guest/kid friendly yoke games that have worked out for me. A lot of games didn't last because they took too long to get into, weren't fun in short bursts, didn't have replay, needed too much explanation of what to do or how to do it, felt redundant, etc. While Freespace is awesome of what it is, it does hit on a lot of those things. Ditto a ton of other games. That said, I've uploaded my current batch of transparent snaps made for use with Attract-Mode FE's Warp Layout (includes a lot of games not listed here, for your use). So here's my list and why its a keeper for me - and if you've got any recommendations let me hear them. Love adding new content! After Burner - a surprising fav of guests and kids with them routinely playing through multiple levels Cyber Sled - personal fav, recent add. More for me than anyone else ESB - Completeness, people expect to see it but no one plays it. Mobile Suite Gundam Final Assault - Space themed rail shooter where you start flying in the second-ish level. Good ish Galaxy Force II - Fun space rail shooter with good level variety. Gun Buster - Unique movement mechanic that works really well with the yoke Hydro Thunder - Played every time the machine is on by anyone playing. Often times the only game on during a party Jurassic Park - kids. love. it. Want to get the sequel working but it's more light gunny so probably not the best choice. Mario Kart GP2 - the other fan favorite, fills that cart racer itch Night Striker - recent addition, kids enjoy it, good variety, might not last Paperboy - Those that remember it love it, those that don't skip it. Prop Cycle - Got it running full speed, audio glitches a bit. Works great with a yoke and is a nice change of pace ROTJ - completeness and a personal fav. I really enjoy this much hated gem. Space Harrier - Really really want to upgrade to the Planet Harriers on Demul Hakiru, just can't get it working right. This is a good unique game tho. Solar Assault - Wow. Needs no reason. If you can get it running full speed it's a must have. STUN Runner - Surprisingly in the top five for most played games. Everybody remembers it and likes it. Star Blade - Good wow factor, really works with the theme and feel Star Wars - Completeness. Nobody plays it for more than a level but me. People usually jump in and then out after the first DS if they even make it that far. Star Wars Racer Revenge - PS2 version, better than the PC SWR, a few menus to jump through with either and this has better graphics and gameplay. T2 - The other kids love it gotta have it game. Star Wars Trilogy - Second most played game after Hydro Thunder. --- End quote --- Snaps are still in the original post. About the FE --- Quote from: Le Chuck on March 25, 2015, 01:27:30 pm ---The short and sweet - Attract-Mode FE might be the easiest implementation of the "SW FE" out of the box. So if you want to try this go download Attract-Mode from: http://attractmode.org/download.html Then download the Warp layout (read skin for you older FE'rs) from: https://github.com/mickelson/attract-extra (click dl zip in the lower right) Then open that zip and copy the Warp folder out of layouts and drop it in the layouts folder in the freshest Attract-Mode FE you just downloaded. If you want any sounds drop them into the "sounds" folder - you'll assign them in the FE tab menu. Open the FE and hit tab. Set the display as Warp and point the emulators at the snaps and files you want to run. Set sounds. Set the controls (Attract-Mode read my kade+ out of the box) and you're done. Stupid simple. I have all my stuff running from a folder full of batch files and only the "windows programs" emulator setup since it looks for *.bat or *.lnk. Just about 5 minutes worth of fiddling and I was done. --- End quote --- About the yoke --- Quote from: Le Chuck on March 02, 2014, 12:13:47 pm ---Been able to get after a few things in the last bit - I have two other projects actively going and one on the burner right now so I've been multitasking like a mofo: Got the yoke prepped and laid out to tackle assembly If you need to replace your bumpers these are a great fit and a set of four will run you $6 at Lowes. They are a little big but you can trim them if necessary. Thumb button installed Interior view Analog and trigger wired up together for the right hand grip. Went to go hook it up to the kade+ for testing and realized that I don't have any 10k ohm resistors left in the house so I'll have to run to the Shack. Kinda took the wind out of my sails as I was on a roll. The cut away on the trigger mount is for analog clearance - it'll be a tight fit These are the boots I went with for the analog stick, it's kind of of pricey for such a little piece but you get three to practice on. I had to cut off the top ring to get the fit I wanted. Pic is link fyi. --- End quote --- --- Quote from: Le Chuck on March 02, 2014, 09:59:25 pm --- Once I got the kadestick sorted I wired everything up for a test fit - had my axis reversed and on one pot I had the 5v and G reversed but that's why we test ;D Here's where I began to build up the support. I thought about using putty but hot glue a little at a time gave me a lot of control over how the support structure got built. I wanted to ensure that the pots and pushbutton on the unit didn't get gummed up. It was tedious but once I had a good base I was able to start using wood stints to help build up the area faster. Of course if I ever have to change the unit out I'll probably just buy a new handle rather than fight that mess lol. That T-molding needs to hurry up and arrive so I can mount the monitor and get this show on the road! Now we're getting somewhere. The boot around the analog stick needs to be glued down as there is a little bit of lift at the corners but I'll wait until I do the final test to do that. --- End quote --- |

LeChuck or anybody know where I can get these leaf switches? Sorry if I'm hijacking your thread. --- Quote from: Le Chuck on January 09, 2017, 08:08:15 am --- Interior view --- End quote --- |
