Is the sidewinder steering wheel optical or pots?  I think Road Blasters used an optical steering wheel and that is the problem.

RoadBlasters did use an optical steering wheel.
An optical steering wheel that MAME treats as a spinner knob.

Correct, but a Sidewinder is pot-based so it should work with any joystick device.  I've heard before a lot of people use pot-based steering wheels, with good results.  I am yet to try this tho, I've been using my 360deg wheel for now...

Having examined the underside of one it IS a spinner knob, just with limited movement.

Totally irrelevant here but I noticed while taking my RoadBlaster controller apart the other day that the thumb buttons are quite different to the Star Wars ones.  Seems to be an improved design so they have less 'wobble'.  I was going to fit some repro SW yoke buttons, but decided the (albeit scarred) originals are better...just used the repro springs.
