Spy Hunter on a Standard CP?
<< < (4/15) > >>

Sure I will measure it when I get home.  It's a tight fit for sure, but I have it in between my player 1 buttons and to the left of my trackball.  It is 270 degrees.  I think it works very well for Spy Hunter.  It's the only way I've been able to get to the boats phase.  It has paddle shifters which I use for shooting and gear changes.  It also works great for Outrun, Chase HQ, and Special Criminal Investigation (and I think Hang On).  If you want I can test it out with another game.  I'm not sure how well it would work with a game that requires a real shifter, but there is a small Dpad on the left that may work for that.

I forgot to mention that this would obviously only be an option if your CP has a smooth surface like lexan on it.

So, excuse my ignorance but how does it interface with the computer?  USB?  Do you have to setup anything special in Mame to get it to work properly?  If this thing is easy to interface that would be a great option - assuming I can get it on my panel.

I have always been bummed that I cant play Spyhunter.  Which got me thinking I would build a all driver cab one day but I have exhausted all my spare funds on my recent build.

Yep it's USB.  Basically it's just an analog joystick to MAME.  Just enable joystick and go to the in-game input settings and configure your mappings.

Just snagged a Spy Hunter console for $26 plus shipping!  Whoohoo!

Now... what's the best/easiest way to interface this to my PC?

I play Spy Hunter just fine, using just buttons. 

The car is very difficult to control with a spinner.

If all fails, you can always play the old Xbox version.
