Title: Offering crazy money for Star Wars Yoke USB interface. ;)
Post by: Teamatomics on July 06, 2013, 11:52:35 am: Or at least, by "crazy money" I mean I'll pay you nearly double the price of the unit to cover your costs and allow you to make some cash.
I have a limited time to test this yoke so that's why I'm offering more cash to anyone who either has an extra one or wants to save cash by re-wiring a controller.

Also, for the person who can hook me up, I don't have much in the way of original arcade parts, but you're welcome to a free Burgertime cocktail control panel which obviously has a fully working joystick (same as Pac Man, Ms Pac ect) and a Burgertime cocktail underlay.

Just pm me or ideally, email me at "perihelions"....which is a hotmail address, so just type it all together :)

Thanks!

Craig

I just bought one a couple of weeks ago. I haven't opened it yet. If you want to pay me nearly double that price, I'm happy to accommodate you!

Thanks,

Craig.

Good luck,

Post by: Paul Olson on February 12, 2014, 11:35:38 am: I am planning to use my spare one for a paperboy controller. If it doesn't work well with that, I would probably sell it. I haven't tested it in MAME yet, but in the gamepad test, it looks like it doesn't have as much range in the xy directions as the star wars yoke does. I should be able to test it this weekend.
