Control selection question - MAME compatable?
Texasmame:
Hey, guys!
While I know I don't want to start collecting the classics again, I know I do want my MAME cab to have the look and *feel* of a classic cab.
With that in mind, I intend on using classic parts for my CP - an authentic Spy Hunter shifter and steering wheel, authentic Pac-Man stick for my 4 way, authentic Pole Position steering wheel, noisy Tempest spinner, Centipede trac, etc. I've seen the new-fangled ;) red ball 4-8 way switchable sticks and have that classic look about them, so I'm thinking I'll go with those. Also want old time leaf switch buttons! Weren't none of them microswitches on the true classics! :notworthy:
Anyone have comments or advice - for instance, any controls from "back in the day" that are KNOWN not to work in MAME?
I know I'm taking a bit of a risk by using some old hardware (physical or electronic breakdown of components) but, for the most part, it was the monitors or PCBs that went bad on the classics, hardly ever the controls.
TIA,
John in TX

My advice would be to make either swappable control panels or better yet make more than one cabinet. That's a lot of controls... I think the project arcade panel is about as elegant as you can make a CP without turning it into a Frankenpanel.
Good luck! :cheers:

Sorry, probably should've linked to my initial thread:

I intend on a rotating or modular design, thx. :)

*bump* really just for this one question:

I think 720 is a problem. Although you can kind of use a spinner.
