Driving controls - one to rule them all?
Silver:
I was planning 1 analogue pedal (gas) and 1 microswitched (brake) - do most games use analogue or digital for the brake?
Either way - it sounds like 2 x analogue is best. (I'm planning 2 pot-based pedals wired to a dual strike hack).
re gear shifter: I'm sure (2) and (3) (in Minwah's post) can be simply done on a hi/lo shifter - as for (2) the hi/lo buttons are mapped to the shifter position, and in (3) simply mapping the lo to the shifter will work (I think). I though pole position was a shifter too, but if its a button-up then a shifter with a button would cover it.
more generally: are most pc wheels 270's?
also - there are a ton of PS2/xbox wheels available cheap 2nd hand - are these 270's as well, and anyone know typically what pots they use - how hackable are they onto an optipac/dual strike?

Agreed.

It's a shifter. MAME set the controls for convenience rather than authenticity. Someone somewhere posted a source code patch to "fix" it.
>more generally: are most pc wheels 270's?
Yes, they are.
>also - there are a ton of PS2/xbox wheels available cheap 2nd hand >- are these 270's as well,
Yes

Dunno. You could also use DaveB's AKI interface, which is USB and works with any value of Pots.

Hiya : )
Well, thats the crappy drawing of a possible design for a multi-wheel.
I personally have no use for it as I have supersprint wheels and starwars yoke - as well as a super hangon controller. I (rough) designed it just for fun and for others to try out... tho I admit it would be a fun project to do (just do not have the time).
Im quite sure that its very possible to do this. Also, a simular method could be used for Multi-spinner (an engaugeable geared drive for higher accuracy in arkanoid)... and or also a pot based gear to use as a paddle (for games like pong).
Someday I do hope to design and build a shifter that feels like Race Drivin's. Its the best arcade shifter ever built.

Apparently so did Ridge Racer:

Wish I could pony up the dough for this. It should be hackable for any game.

Tiger-Heli: Thanks for the info....
Looks like for a 360 wheel, an arcade part is what is needed - unless you hack a spinner and a wheel perhaps?
I like the idea of a combined 270/360 although not sure I'm going to go in headfirst and be a guinea pig. Although would be perfect in terms of space (which is bad enough when considering 2 wheels, pedals, 4player cp...)
Ah well, I think a 270 yoke and 360 wheel will cover the most. Although I love UncleT's setup - amazing!
