Has anyone ever mamed a star wars standup (dont kill me for thinking it)
redfivexw:
I am wondering if anyone has ever taken an original star wars upright and hooked up the flight yoke to mame. is there an interface like an ipac that would transfer the movements and triggers to mame? It is just a thought, what if you had a bare star wars cabinet with no guts to it, and put a pc monitor under the smoked glass and hooked the controls up, could it be made to work? Just curious.
APFelon:
I remember a guy on Usenet just last week (or two??) that was selling all of the parts from his SW cab except the flight yoke. He parted out a fully functional SW to use the yoke for MAME. Does that count?

Was a cockpit as well, wasn't it ?
As folks there pointed out ... THAT is why "collectors" don't think highly of "MAMErs" ... that and they drive up the price of specialty parts essential to restoration (SW yokes, Tron sticks, volcano buttons) ...
In more direct answer to your underlying question, sure there are interfaces to connect a yoke to a PC (too early for me to provide links ... there have been lots of discussions on the topic and was in Saint's book as well).
Don't go MAMEing no Star Wars! :police:
Cheers.
