pot based spinners have some issues..

either the don't spin, or they jump from high to lo at some point.

This isn't really designed for spinners.. Would be great for omega race... but that controller would only be good in omega race... that assuming that the driver works well with original controllers... and this isn't always the case.  (I have an original omega race control panel... but the pot is busted... sigh)
gnateye:
im interested in the adapters too. id like to make an aracde steering wheel panel for my cab that i could use for my console drivers too.

will your new xbox and the forthcoming playstation adapters work with this in combo with a steering wheel? and how about using a 3rd party dreamcast converter with your ps2 converter? will that work, or will i have to wait for a dreamcast converter for the Apac?

im definatly wanting one of these. i just need to clear up my understanding of it all first...

I don't want to hear about Red, though.  That would be comparing apples to oranges, and can lead nowhere.

You've completely poisoned the Red vs. Blue subthread by introducing new, non-original colors into the debate.

I'm just glad to see that the true MARKET research, done by Andy, supports my original claim that Red is better.

My claims were based on a visual poll of posted projects.
His claims are based on actual SALES of buttons, whether they are subsequently posted in the project forum, or not.

Pot based spinners (Paddles) are also known as 270 degree wheels, Analog Pedals, and Analog Joystick axes.  Do these all have issues? 
Lilwolf:
No...  they do what they do and do it great.

By spinners I was thinking Omega race specific (there are a few others also).  These look like spinners but use pots.

there are two type of pots that can be used for these. 

One that only turns part way... but these would be bad since you couldn't continue to turn left after a bit. 

One that turns all the way around, but at the end, it jumps back to 0 (whats sent to the computer).  This would also be bad since you would have to make sure the drivers in mame are expecting this.  Many mame drivers do not handle the real controls from the real machines because the mame developers want to get them working with normal hardware (ie, mouse)...

But 270s will work great... Starwars controlers great.... Omega race controllers great (if they work with Omega race is another issue).
