Pole Position on Namcos Museum
« on: July 17, 2009, 05:52:34 pm »
Hi!

I have the Namco Museum 50th Anniversary (PS2) and think Pole Position and Pole Position II ARE NOT  playable with the pad.

Is it possible to use a steering wheel?

Or am I doing something wrong? It is SOOOOO sensitive  :'(

Not the ideal forum for this mate; we all play our classics on PC's, using controls we build ourselves.

Yeah it's all home-made arcades here.

To answer your question though;  When namco planted the rom for PP onto the PS2 disc. they most certainly did not make adjustments between between the turning speed for a wheel, and a thumb-stick. A wheel does, work for the game, and it does work much better, the turns are still immediate but you don't slam into the sides and have a chance to correct your steering.

It's unfortunate case of bad porting.
I miss Retroblast :(

I know this, and have built two own arcades too... but this is an control question. and here should be many people who know about that.

i think he means maybe this belongs in the consoles section, since it deals with a console.
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.
