Robotron Control Panel Mame

(1/3) > >>

dgame:
After reading one too many ‘Robotron is best on original controls’ posts I got this:







The plan is to set it up as a stand alone controller.

I was trying to get the 8 discrete buttons back on my Ultrastik 360 to use as an interface for this project. Since I am unable to flash my U360 back to the 2.3 firmware I went ahead and ordered an APAC to interface the Robotron panel with my PC, it should be here any day.

The move stick is a genuine Wico, but what is the fire stick?

MOVE:



FIRE:



Can anyone ID this stick? Is it any good for Robotron?


Thanks

SithMaster:
Damn my post got deleted.

Anyway they might be 4 way wicos configured to be 8 way.

Are you going to keep them or just use the handles and panel for the 360s?

dgame:
I am going to interface the sticks and buttons with an A-PAC. It will be a standalone Robotron control panel. I am going to replace the fire stick with a real Wico.

The 360 is for all the regular games.
This is for Robotron / Crazy climber and I have another project that will use two CH Flightstick Pro's for dual stick / multi button Tank type games like Assault and Vindicators:

SithMaster:
Those flight sticks look awesome.  Pm sent about the fire stick.

RayB:
The gray one appears to be the "chinese knock-off" of a Wico. (Just guessing from the screwed-on leaf switches)

I have further bad news for you: The shafts appear to be the standard length ones used on many games other than Robotron. Robotron used longer joystick handles/shafts.
