| Silver:
You can always hack your own rotary joysticks - there are a couple of hacks floating round on the board, 1 adds a mechanical mouse scrollwheel, the other adds some gears to connect top a mouse encoder wheel (think cheap optical rotary). I've also been successful just by using an old rotary encoder I pulled from a broken peice of audio kit. Its small and looks just like a little Pot except it keeps spinning. Mine clicks 24 times in 1 revolution although you can get different ones. Its handy in that it has the clicks like a mechanical rotary but it has outputs identical to an optical encoder (2 channels) that you can wire directly to an optipac... |

there is a working heavy barrel cab on ebay right now, local to me. Flirting with the idea of making a decidated rotary mame cab, or just gutting the controls of of it, and selling the rest. dunno |

RE: Hoagie_One I personally love the rotary games. I say go for it. There is nothing in the world like hitting Ikari Warriors with a partner. I fly my old high-school chum Jason in once a year for hours of glorious rotational battle. RE: XYBots Oh yeah. RE: Lil Wolf I have had no problems with Druin's board for my rotary. I have only tested it on Ikari Warriors, though, before I started sanding, puttying, and painting. |

mameotron... NICE job at the gamelist per controller type action!! I had been inquiring as to how to create such a list (quick like) and then the rotary question came up... I think posts like this rotary question are quite helpful to n00b's and would-be mamecab builders for figuring out their control panel needs. SaiNRuB- nice posting, url'd gamelist and everything, gotta love KLOV.com! |

Looks like some other folks are interested so here are some sources. The original yellow topped sticks: http://www.videoconnect.com/pages/joys.htm For brand new Happs rotary joysticks: http://www.happcontrols.com/joysticks/rotary&optical_joy.htm The Happs have smooth control, but are beefier and require about 4" space under the hood. Also, the bear-top is not as satisfying to me as the yellow hex joystick top. |
