2600 beat me to it.
NOW, were to get an arcade analog flight stick for a reasonable price, BYO steering wheel/yoke, etc...
With all these new products that have been coming out no wonder I say a cabinet is never done!
clanggedin:
OK.. Let me get this straight. With the A-Pac I can use my Happ steering wheel and pedals with MAME??
2600:
You can use a happ 270 steering wheel and pot based pedals. You can use digital pedals too, but those are just like button presses.
The thing you can't do is a 360 wheel.
Witchboard:
So it's not compatible with optical analog devices, like 360 steering wheels, trackballs and spinners.
