Ram Controls Yoke - The circle is complete!

<< < (10/30) > >>

S0L:
Out of interest, did you get the Mame USB converter in with it Havok?

I think Dave said he's include it with the pre-order ones? I'm quite keen on that (as a pre-orderer!) - as I don't want to start hunting down Dual Strikes or hacking 360 controllers!

Mostly as I can rig it up quick in some form of box and then take it for a test spin :P Well when it shows up!

Pole Position is an optical 360° steering wheel game.  The SW yoke is an optical control, but it has a physical limiter that stops rotation at some angle.  Thus, PP would not play correctly with a restricted wheel.

The SW yoke uses pots.

The USB controller isn't ready, however if you haven't purchased anything yet, I would get the AKI controller for it, which is available now. I pre-ordered a controller from Dave, but in the meantime I have a dual Strike that I've been sitting on for a few years that I intend to hack until I get Dave's controller. Here's a link to the AKI:

As far as Pole Position, if it works somewhat, great, if not, not an issue. The yoke is essentially a 270 degree wheel, so I'll just have to see how that works with Mame on a 360 degree game. I know that when I play PP I don't spin the wheel like a madman, I just steer a little left or right, so we'll see what happens. Race Drivin is my favorite driving game, so PP would just be a nice extra. I purchased the yoke primarily for three Star Wars games (well 2 really - ROTJ isn't one of my favorites.) However, I'm glad to see Firefox in Mame now, so that will also definitely be setup.

Ta - I am one of the original pre-orderers (so called Dirty Dozen!) so I was hoping it'd come along with it. I might grab an AKI on the off-chance, though there was also the A-PAC I was considering before Dave suggested there would be a straight plug-in USB solution.

I'll wait see - not in any rush :P
