paperboy handlebar MAME hookup

<< < (4/4)

unclet:
I purchased a Microsoft Dualstrike USB Sidewinder gamepad and hack the pots to the controller.  I actually hacked about 6 of these Dualstrike gamepads and hooked everything up.

There is a photo link on that page as well ...

[EDIT]  The Dualstrike gamespads as very old so they might not be around on Ebay anymore.  But if some other controller exists which has 5K pots (I think it is 5K) then you can use that one I guess.

 Paperboys controller is very clunky IMOP.  Hard to control the acceleration well with it

i haven't played paperboy in a long time, but my recollection is that i was always either trying to go as fast as possible or as slow as possible. so no need for an analog controller at all; a simple switch would have worked just as well! then again, i was never that great at paperboy...

FYI, in case some of you have not noticed yet, the USB adapters ARE ready and they're shipping!
