It would be nice if i could play my racing (pc or emu) games in a jvs driving cabinet.
anyone know if such a adapter already exist? jvspac and all clones are sadly only digital....
 
I was about to make a thread about this.

What's the verdict on getting analog stuff working with a PC in MAME/Demul/etc?
 
I would also think it would be really cool to see this. Obviously @invzim is going to be the man to ask here, among some others. I know (or have read anyway) that the JVS spec is pretty well documented, albeit not in english. I use a JVSPAC for several purposes already, having that or something else with analog support would be sweet. I can't speak for invzim but with it currently being a keyboard device I'm not sure how that would be handled. Unless it/someone emulated windows joystick axis sytle somehow that could be calibrated in windows.
 
There are options for analog controls in MAME, Ultimarc has the A-PAC and U-HID and there are the KADE family of open source devices (which is what I used to test out the Sega IR guns in MAME). I don't believe there are any JVS compliant options though... not that it's not possible, just no one has released anything like that yet.

I'm actually getting ready to build a few more analog capable KADE devices and was planning on doing a write-up in my blog once done if anyone is interested.

Definitely interested.

I suppose one could just skip JVS I/O and wire the joystick directly to an A-PAC or something, yeah?
 
you could. I'm planning on building a little PCB that the KADE plugs into that adapts it to an RA connector like the Sega JVS I/O boards that way i can just swap that connector out when switching between PC and a JVS board.
 
I've got Planet Harriers woes, so trying to find a way to at least use the some-what-okay-nowadays emulated version in the real cab until a stupid Hikaru pops up.
