Apparently, this green color is not a popular color. I was only able to purchase 8 wheels that are the correct size for this controller. In anticipation of this, I have purchased all the bright green wheels I could find (which isn't many). I think I will do this once I have tested this controller a little further. It's looking like there is some interest in making this controller available for purchase. One would just need to adjust the speed of the mouse. Not only that, but it makes it easier for set-up in mame.
Major havoc roller rebuild kit ps2#
I originally had it set up in the y axis, but after seeing doubledown's post on using it with a PS2, I thought X axis natively would be better for compatibility (since I don't know what kind of options the PS2 has in that game for mouse control). I now have a nice clean left to right motion (X axis) of the mouse pointer natively when plugged in to the computer. The design isn't changing, but I did have to adjust the position of the PCB (which changed the print slightly). I'm working on it here & there between other things.
Major havoc roller rebuild kit update#
Just wanted to give an update on this project.
Not only should this controller be good for playing Major Havoc via emulation, but it should work really good for games like Breakout & Arkanoid as well. I've decided to mount this controller in a storage box (just like my Cyclone controller) for testing. I'm getting ready to put this unit through some testing. The pictured unit above is actually my second go at this. Here's the mounting I'm going to be using for my roller controller: I did come across an image that had some dimensions on it and decided to run with that. I am trying to make the mounting close to original, but of course that's a little hard to find. As to the sizing of the roller, it's close to the original, but not exactly the same (I didn't want to have to make/cast custom rollers). With that in mind my controller will be made of mainly 3D printed parts and because of the way I'm making this, back lighting the wheel isn't planned. Again, this is meant as a cost effective type controller and not a true reproduction of the original. I'm still tweaking the dimensions a little, but this is the design I came up with.
Using what I've learned from my Cyclone Spinnerproject, I decide to take a stab at a "cost effective" USB roller controller in the style of Major havoc. Major Havoc uses a unique roller controller and that controller is quite expensive to obtain.
