ls30/rotary joysticks parts??
DYNAGOD:
are these sticks much deeper than Happ P360's?
i might have to scrap my Control panel if so..
so the ones from video connect are NOS? Sweet
i thought they were just used reconditioned ones.
man , i remeber pumping fistfulls of quarters into heavy barrel..
man it looks sooooo cheezy now when i play it , but that game was the absolute king when it was out..
WonderMellon:
I believe the LS-30 and Wico Rotary are about the same thing. Does anyone know the prices of these 2 joysticks? I saw videoconnect lists them for $37, but I can't tell if that is each or a pair and I can't find a price on the Wico's.
Also, you should not need Druins interface, although I hear it is great. If you have the connections, there is a thread somewhere that says you can use Analog Mame and just plug each of the 13 wires into your keyboard encoder. Probably a bit more wiring and configuring, but cheaper than Druin's interface. On the other hand, with Druin's interface I think you only need 2 or 3 extra connections to the encoder.

i think u r correct. but the prospect of using up 13 inputs on my opti-pac isnt really an avenue i like the sound of. if i had one of the fancy opti-pac 4's(?) with like 40 inputs then maybe..
either way i would have to buy either another ipac or the rotary interface. might as well get druins...
alphasqorner:
With druins rotary interface, you would need a total of 4-6 wires going to your keyboard encoder:
2 or 4 - clockwise and counter clockwise motions/keystrokes (depending on having 1 or 2 joysticks installed)
1 - ground
1 - +5 volt
