Racing Bartop?
brad808:
Some wheels such as the Logitech driving force have paddle shifters that use pots. The reason behind this is if there are no pedals hooked up then those shift paddles will work as gas and break. Just thought i would toss the idea of that out there.

Thanks for the quick info guys. Just bought some t-molding to pretty up a bartop build, not sure what I want to do with it yet. Maybe two-player.....thought racing would be a good idea....perhaps 1-player and a mini trackball? :dunno
cw:
what about a racing bartop that has a top down display and 4 sides like the demo derby 4 player cab.

I built a full sized racing game. Big mistake. It had a 360 wheel and switch pedals. The amount of games it could play accurately was under 5 or 6. Besides that, Mame arcade games have little replay value. It sat empty for big chunks of time in the gameroom.

If you replaced the pedals with analog ones though, that would jump up to 30-odd IIRC, and some of them are great. I am assuming you have a shifter...if not that would seriously limit the games but not too big a big deal to add one.
