Using spinner to play NG/JAMMA games

is there any chance that a few more adapters will be made? I have a few games i would like to play, but with stick it just doesn't feel right
 
Hey guys,

Reading through the threads on here you guys seem into custom controls. Thought you might find this older project of mine interesting

At one point in time a friend asked me if I could make a PCB from a schematic he had. Sure, why not?! What he sent me was the schematic by Nightmare Tony (who worked for SNK) to use a spinner to interface with joystick left/right. (Attached schematic)

I got so excited! I'm a big fan of Puzzle Bobble, what better way to play it?! There are a few games that benefit from playing this way.... but PUZZLE BOBBLE WITH SPINNERS!!! :thumbsup:

Another friend suggested making it a jamma pass through connector, genius! Here is the resulting pcb design, with improvements for 2-player. Joysticks work properly with this installed too

It wasn't my plan to come on here and start selling, but I checked with Darksoft how I should handle it if anyone wanted to buy these. He told me to post here with a price :thumbup:

$48 USD each plus shipping costs (Shipping cost with tracking approx $12 for USA, $18-22 for International)

If you got any questions about pcb design, soldering, equipment I use, let me know :D
Hi @brizzo
I am trying to follow the Neo Geo Steering Wheel Schematic-1 but without success. :(
Maybe I am doing something wrong, I know it's been a while and the party is probably over but would you be so kind as to share the project files of your adapter? so I can study where I am going wrong?
It would be very helpful, thanks in advance.
