Convert an existing Pole Position to play other driving games??
GCS:

Anyway to tell on KLOV or somewhere else which games are 270 or 360 wheels??
How about Outrun, Chase HQ, Final Lap

download mame32 and sort the games by trackball. about half of them will be driving games.

outrun, chase hq and final lap are all 270 degree potentiometer based games.
i forgot to add drag race and grudge match to the 360 game list i posted earlier. but those are pretty much it. theres a couple others but they dont have sound so i didnt include them. like laguna racer, speed freak, and turbo tag.
GCS:
OK.
SO I guess there is no way to play those 270 degree games on a 360 degree wheel or vice versa huh??
Basically the PP is working, it has no board in it but we popped in a board from another PP and everything seemed to work fine and the monitor looked pretty good.
Basically I would like to be able to play as many of the driving games as possible and wouldn't have a problem making some changes if needed.
Thanks for the all the advice so far btw.

Oh, your game has no board of its own? Forget it then, Mame away as a working Pole Position board sells for more money than a working Pole Position does.

Chase HQ is actually pretty playable with a 360 wheel, if you pay attention to how you steer the car, and where center is on the wheel.
It used an optical wheel in the arcades, rather than a pot based wheel; but the wheel had centering springs, and I "think" had a center flag to tell the hardware when it was centered.
You will need to add a few buttons to the CP for different games.
