This has come up before, and has been partially answered, but never all together, so I've taken what learned and made a little web page. This is confirmed working on my machine: http://actionmush.com/pole_position/ Let me know what you think. |

I think it's awesome! Good pictures. I'm trying to figure out a couple things. This may be a dumb question, but that won't stop me from asking it. Why use the optipac? Couldn't this plug straight into a ps2 mouse slot? I assume it's a resolution issue? I have an Atari 1976 Lemans steering and I was trying to figure out how to run the steering wheel through a mouse. I'm worried it won't be responsive enough and be choppy on screen. The original sensor is on there and I was going to attempt plugging it up to a mouse and I still may. |

My main reason is that I want 4 of these hooked up at the same time. Much easier to wire them to the opti-pac. Plus it's a modular cabinet, so I can plug any simalar control into that jack now. --- Quote from: leapinlew on June 11, 2006, 12:54:08 am ---I'm trying to figure out a couple things.

Ah cool. I have a modular panel cabinet also and a PP wheel and pedals. Haven't gotten around to hooking them up yet. I need to build something that the wheel can attach to, same goes for the SW Yoke. What method did you use for your modular panels to hold them down etc? ~telengard |

What happens if you hook it up to an optipac without bypassing on the extra components? I'm sure I tested this with one of those "complex" boards and an optipac and it worked fine, but it was a couple of years ago and I could be mistaken.... |
