What say?

I'm hoping it is - dig that FL!  :)

MYX:

The Front line turning was done with switches not a spinner, so it is not an optical source. It is a rotary set of switches.
As I understand it, it is a little box of 4 switches and there is a brush and as you turn the JS the brush rotates and depresses the switches.

Retroblast had a review of Druins rotary joystick interface coupled with the GGG GPWiz49 and Happs 49 way Joy.

Bummer.  :(



apachecontrols:

The Blackhawk circuit controller is designed to emulate standard PC-based mouse control movements. This allows for the widest possible selection of true spinner games to play via emulation. Any game which can use a mouse input will work; Tempest, DOT, etc.

Games like Front-Line are not true spinner games and as such will not work with standard mouse input devices. They only work with rotary position-style switch-based inputs.

If there is enough interest, maybe we'd consider building these types of controllers in the future.

MYX:

I think that there is an interest, but I can not see paying a lot for a control that is really valid for 1 game. But, Texasmame, your right, it is a great game. It always kicked my butt. I have looked at em on ebay a couple of times.
