New arcade hardware - poll
Lilwolf:
I would vote for a starwars yoke myself. If they can keep the prices down to a reasonable level that is.
Steering wheels are easy enought to get (for each type).
I would rather see a good metal 270 + forced feedback steering wheel then one that changes. I got about 5 360s for 10bucks each without trouble years ago... sure you could get them for 25 now without trouble. But they are EASY hackes... There aren't that many 270s and a starwars yoke actually is great for racing games.
I could see a yoke / 270 combo being a better product for most people.
As for a qbert knocker... I would like to see a seperate interface to work with t2 guns ect like mentioned above. But I might not use one at all unless it used seperate power. I would hate to bring my system down whenever qbert jumped. And with a usb + outside power, it should be easy / cheaper... and give the ability to work with existing hardware.
But I'm going for a good yoke.
btw, with the last changes to mame with lightgun. Anyone see if starwars works better with a lightgun? If it did, and optical starwars yoke might now be feasable and make it MUCH easier to build.

And If the wheel has to rotate 360 degrees... your are going to have to make an encoder thats inside the main wheel compartment that is Wireless.. and sends button presses to the main controller. Which also means it will need a battery compartment.

I can think of a way to do this without going wireless, and avoiding the problem of all the wires being tangled, or developing a wireless controller.
GGKoul:
Why do you add a poll to the post? As lots of people would like to vote, but not leave a post...
I vote for No#1.

I disagree...there are roughly as many (or slightly more) 270deg racing games than 360deg ones. All arcade driving games have used 270deg wheels for donkeys years.

I agree on this :) As you say a SW yoke is good enough for drivers (for most people), but for a new product it would be nice to have a yoke, with a lockable y-axis for when playing 270deg drivers. I think most people could live without this feature tho, as long as the yoke itself is a good product.
