wheel / yoke for road blasters?
Kremmit:
I did see where somebody added an encoder wheel and a set of optics to the back of their SW yoke just for RoadBlasters. They said it worked fine.

how well does it work after you've made that change?
would it still be better to add optical capabilities to the sw yoke?

Very well. The only thing you can't simulate with the change is the "missing spoke" and "missed read of a spoke/gap" errors, AFAIK. ;)
Adding the optical to the yoke, OTOH, might feel closer to the original sensitivity / angle turned than from the POT side (for reasons of deadzone, progressive/logrithmic scaling, early max, etc, which differents from wheel to wheel, and driver to driver settings).
The one line is in src/drivers/atarisy1.c, line 661:
INPUT_PORTS_START( roadblst )
PORT_START /* F20000 */
PORT_BIT( 0xff, 0x40, IPT_PADDLE ) PORT_MINMAX(0x00,0x7f) PORT_SENSITIVITY(25) PORT_KEYDELTA(10) PORT_REVERSE
PORT_START /* F40000 */
"IPT_DIAL" changed to "IPT_PADDLE"

very cool. will give it a try. thanks!!!
