And if the MAME core had a code fix to use that alignment sensor (720 joystick)...

I figure the alignment sensor would be used by the interface hardware to convert the incremental encoder into an absolute position to feed to the computer.

None. I just made a CP and don't want to start another!! :) .. ok tough call on the list but the rotary stick then a yoke/wheel combo. I live knockers but not necessarily in my games.

Not too pretty.. but might work heh :)
Thoughts???
(not to be used without my permission :P should it actually be viable :) )
edit: btw... the estimated cost? Probably $500 ! heh
RobotronNut:
i was imagining a smallish round wheel, where the whole wheel could pivot around a second axis. this would be lockable into its zero position for games that do not use the second axis.
another possibility would be a yoke with a wheel that could be dropped in above it, rather than permanently installed below it, as in your design.
Xiaou2:
I do not think the control would be as nice or accurate if the entire wheel assembly tilted.
Youd also have to raise the wheel very far from the Control panel to accomdate for the wheel hitting the panel from the tilt. Locking mechanism wouldnt be easy. It would be hard to move arround an entire wheel assembly 'Swiftly' - because of the weight.
Also, the footprint would be pretty huge. Oh.. and more importantly, the pivot point would be all wrong.. thus making it very slow and awkward.
If you want small, then stick to a spinner for 360 anyway. The main problem here, is that everyone wants something different. Yet the people who Really want the True experience and perfect control will not buy something with compromises.
btw- the Yoke here is not Under the wheel. Its part of the wheel itself - Centered into it.
