Namco adaptations for disabled gamer

<< < (5/6) > >>

Well, I'm following this diagram, but with little luck at present, even using an Atari VCS... I shall keep trying...

You will need:
 
1x LM 555 timer IC
2x 10K resistors
1x 100nF capacitor
1x 0.42nF capacitor
1x on/off switch
 

 

IntruderAlert:
On this page I found that Namco has been making communication aids for severely disabled people since 1985

Lots of other good links there too
Maybe you can get some ideas from what other people are already doing

skallagrigg:
Thanks for spotting my accessible retro gaming forum, IntruderAlert! If anyone else has any other devices to add, please let me know, and I'll put them up.

Cheers,

I really like this idea :)

I was building a 1 handed playstation controller for my cousins (he was born with a stump so he can only play 1 handed basiclly)

Believe it or not i got all the button on the joystick the only buttons you couldnt touch quickly was select and start which is fine he played fighters mostly so he could do anymore i could :)

But i really like your idea

check out: http://www.smspower.org/smscartpad/rfu.htm

Picture of how to build a rapid fire unit for SMS but the sms is direct on/off switches so it can be hooked into the namco thing easily :)

So far (progress is very slow) - The NAMCO 5in1 TV game was fine in adapting for plug-in switch use. However, I've only managed to get one fire activation every 6 seconds - my "not very rapid fire" circuit. Strangely, rapid fire is fine on other adapted devices, such as my adapted Namco Arcade Stick.



I'm thinking of abandoning this project in favour of a much more versatile system of a lap-top controlling a games console...

Thanks all for your help so far though.
