Decent MAME Spinner?
daveg2000:
Looks like a good cheap solution.
I'm trying to avoid hacks and things of the such if I can.
Not cause I can't do it... just that I want to
take the easy way out this time around... and just
plug in a usb cable if possible.
I see a $12 part, that takes time to construct
equal to a $40 part that you have to order and wait for a week
for. For the extra $28... Id rather rather just be lazy.
(until my wife finds out ;) )
Then I'll be building the cheap stuff.. ha ha!

Awww thats not the way to think about it :P This is people building their own cabinets and controllers, hence BYO, at least consider it. If you think about it, the $28 this time, and then the few bucks next time, with the cash you save, you can buy better joysticks or siding or something. Consider it :) BTW, nice spinner! I saw one on a site...lemme get it....http://home.t-online.de/home/stephan.hans/tricks.htm#SPINNER%20for%20superduperarcadeconsole. This place has a few circuits and stuff, I was going to build the two mouse two keyboard one until I found out how hard it is to find a solderable PS2 port :P

Oh... :o
I thought it was "BUY your own arcade controls"
heh
Okay... I guess building isn't COMPLETELY out of the question...
And if it does turn out good, I definaltely would be more
proud of myself for what I have done...
decisions, decisions....

Thats the spirit! And you figure, if you were GOING to spend the extra couple bucks, and you fail with your mouse hack / custom spinner, you can easily use the money to try again or just order one and you only lost a little bit, and youll feel better for trying :D Plus, never know what people will buy now a day!

Is it just my browser - or did Cholin post twice in this thread - yet his post total is "1"
