Good day. This is my first ever post on this board, I am Angelo, I greet you all :) I have been involved with arcade playing since the 80s and finally got the chance to discover the world of DIY arcade when I got my hands on an old, damaged Cruisin' Usa cabinet (monitorless) and half a dozen of old control panels. My attempts to revive it has been successfull this far, however, two things bother me slightly. :dizzy: 1) I have the full steering wheel system + force feedback device attached, is it possible to have it used in mame with a certain (commercial) adaptor ? 2) I have dozens of button switches like in the picture added, are there still compatible buttons to be found for it ? stats of the switch: inner hole diameter: 1cm / 0.39 inch overall length 7.5cm / 3 inch Are they even still sold ? That'll do for now, I will soon add my project to the forum announcements. Thank you all. :) |

Hi there. For starters, I'm not 100% sure on the force feedback, maybe someone else can chime in. The unit you have there at the bottom is called a leaf switch. You can get stuff for those, but it's usually tougher to find since everything is a microswitch now. |

Welcome! There are a bunch of vendors who sell leaf switch buttons, check the Vendors section of the wiki. ArcadeShop, Mike's Arcade, Bob Roberts, LizardLick and Centsible all come to mind. |

That is a sit-down model. Do you have the seat part? And no, you can't interface your cruisin usa force feedback with MAME. Maybe some day though (I like optimism ;D)! |

Thanks for your replies. I guess the steering wheel panel is useless then, maybe i can salvage the speakers inside it though. Too bad, the gearstick and wheel seemed cool ;) In all case, it does indeed resemble a leafswitch like on the picture on the wiki (which i thought i read through, tsk tsk me... sorry..). Now to order the needed buttons ! Thanks for the help ! |
