Does anyone know how to get an original quarterback analog stick working in an mame arcade cabinet. The stick is used to pass. Im using zero lag encoders.
I assume that your "zero lag" encoders are actually "zero delay" encoders that only work with digital (microswitch) controls.
- Use those ZD's on a different project.
You will need an
analog encoder for the analog stick.
- An analog encoder can also handle microswitch controls like buttons.
Commonly used analog encoders include the
A-Pac, the
U-HID (full-size or nano), and a 32u4 Arduino like the Pro Micro with an analog gamepad firmware like
KADE miniArcade 2.0.
- The Arduino route is less expensive, but you'll need to load the firmware (directions are in the miniArcade 2.0 User Guide) and solder wires to the Arduino PCB.
