Rotary Stick Turns too Easy- Fix?

<< < (2/2)

Yea I figured I wouldn't get lucky, they are the opticals. With good LS-30's going for about $100ish on Ebay, and are going to be used for Mame, are the happ rotary comparable or just souped up supers?

Ps I think the pictures are from http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=26272. I found they same ones when I googled loop-24 & thanks for all the great info-

PL1:
Electrically, the Happ mechanical rotary sticks are the same as the LS-30 -- mechanically, they are like Happ Supers.

Brian74 used them in his build.

This thread covers the KADE rotary firmware development and several alternative rotary encoders.

The wiki joystick page has game lists and MAME settings required to use mechanical rotary sticks for rotary mechanical and rotary optical games.

Divemaster carries the Happ sticks (specify 50-5618-00 mechanical, not 50-5619-00 optical) for $42.99.

If you like the octagonal shape, you might consider ordering a few extra shafts (P/N 95-1274-00) from Divemaster (PM him for availability) and casting octagonal handles using a process like this.

P.S. Great pics, Tron84.

Mind if I use those two for the wiki? (assuming they are your pics  ;D)

If they're not yours, do you remember where you got them?

He was right those pics came from http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=26272.
I put those up because he was asking about the green handles, which we both knew was the Loop-24's.
I only have the LS-30's and my pic they are dirty before I got them cleaned up. BTW a 50/50 mix of pinesol & warm water with a no scratch dish sponge, cleans the tops right back to new.  I do have some rotaries :) but it was not the pic he needed. I will have to get a pic of them cleaned up with the 50/50 mix. A before and after.

You are right, Data East made the barrel handles in green & yellow.  :cheers:
I think Wico made those rotaries for them.

Pic below are my LS-30's.  That is just a Data East panel they had been in.
