Who's got the 720° or similar rotary stick?
Donkey_Kong:
Is there anywhere to buy a 720° arcade game type rotary stick currently that would work for mame? It appears as though Ram-controls is trying to do one but they don't answer e-mails...At least not mine.
Also, if you do have a 720° rotary style stick, have you ever tried using it for any console game, Tony Hawk in particular? That could be cool.
720 degrees arcade version is one of my favorites. The tony hawks are probably my all time favorite console games.

In current mame, you get very good control with an analog joystick, if mapped correctly. The original controllers won't work at all in current mame, or any official mame. Nor will it work with any console game, AFAIK, since it's a spinner and (AFAIK) all console skate games use joystick controls.
I have an original controller with a broken sensor board that I want to get working at some point. (Which also would mean I'd need to update mame:analog+.) But with current mame 720 working so well with analog sticks, the drive isn't there for me to lose sleep working on it. :(

u_rebel Thanks for the reply!
Before I knew about BYOAC and stuff I of course was buying all the cheesy commercial stuff out there and I ended up buying one of those Logitech Flight sticks thinking it would be good for Tron. (Which by the way works OK for Tron, it has a little spinner at the base too). It could suffice a big tron fan for awhile thinking they may do it right someday?? That is where I am at with it...
Anyway, turns out this stick wasn't exactly horrible for the game 720, much to my surprise. I was actually having fun with it. I of course couldn't quite peform as good as the original. Fast forward a couple months and I find myself buying Ultra Stik 360's from Ultimarc. I thought that these could possibly be decent for 720. Once I got these sticks I could never figure out how to get my mapping setup within Mame for some reason for 720. It was one of them deals where you keep going in to try different scenarios and you come back out and you push up and your guy goes down or to the side...So yea, I never did even get my control configured correctly for that game.
:dunno

Nice Find RayB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That thing is sweet looking and priced accordingly I might add. What the heck though, I spent $150 on a keyboard...Whats another $300 for a stick right?
Somebody please tell me I can hook this up to MAME? This might be what I want for christmas...
