Title: another Star wars yoke questions -- used as a steering wheel?
Post by: Hoagie_one on March 16, 2005, 04:11:54 pm
can the yoke be used as a steering wheel in anygames as well?  Good way to consolidate the mame experience?

I think the he star wars yoke moves less then a 270 wheel.  Example:  a roadblasters joystick is like a star wars without the Y movement.  So it could be used.

Not sure..... but I don't think there is too much of a difference...

The software doesn't know how many degrees you've rotated your controller.  If you've calibrated your yoke, then the software should read a full turn to the left as a full turn to the left.

Bad example. The Roadblasters wheel is an oddball, as it uses an encoder wheel and optical pickup like a Pole Position wheel.
