It takes time to print out the parts and I still have to purchase more mice PCBs, but February will be the month for these controllers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parts finally came in. Obviously I'm not making the April time line. I started working on them just this week. I have decided to officially name the controller "Master Havoc USB wheel controller". I'm also playing with the idea of printing up an official shipping box. I've made a few tests: Anyway, there are a total of 10 interested people for this controller. I have the parts to make 12 and the ability to make more in the future. I'm guessing a few more weeks and I will be sending out messages to those interested people. Stay tuned... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+pboland Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 Things are finally starting to move along. I'm probably still 2+ weeks out. I still have to: - Calibrate/test each controller - Make/print the mounting templates - Assemble the mounting hardware - Print up a few more boxes - Put a video together showing it in action All twelve units are now accounted for! When I started out on this project I was trying to make a more cost effective Major Havoc roller controller that would easily work with MAME. It wasn't as easy as I though it would be (a lot of trial and error), but I think I've achieved what I set out to do. The price for this controller is going to be $75.00 plus shipping (includes hook-ups for two buttons). To put that in perspective, that's a quarter of the price of the current offerings for a controller like this. I will be contacting every person on my list when I'm ready to ship. After that, I guess I will start a new list. For now here's a picture I took of all the assembled Master Havoc USB wheel controller units: Yes, that's 13 units. One is an extra for myself. I personally like the "Red" controller. So as you guys can see, one person did want a controller with a different colored wheel. Unfortunately, nobody wanted a "Black" wheel. So, more to come... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+pboland Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 Units ready to sell. I just sent out messages to all on the current want list. Please check your PM's Please keep in mind that I'm only able to offer you (at this time) the quantity that you originally asked for. So, if you wanted one, one is all I have ready for you. If you want more I will have to wait and see if a person or two doesn't wish to purchase or put you on the next run of units. Thanks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

negative1 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Hi Pboland, Got my controller yesterday. Had time to test it out with a few games. Also, with some spinner games. It is excellent in build quality, nice and heavy. The roller spins very freely. Thanks again, and excellent job on it, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good replacement. I have not tested wiring up any buttons to it yet though. later -1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texwes Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Hi, are you still making these or are any still available? I owned an original Major Havoc game (sold it years ago) and am trying to recreate a Mame console with the original controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texwes Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Are any of these still available or can you make any more. I used to own an original Major Havoc (sold it years ago) but I really need one for my new MAME arcade cabinet. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, do you know a straightforward way to make these so you can switch from X- to Y-axis on PC or the wiring itself? Do you need to solder a switch with wires to x contact and alternate to y contact, with common on switch to the common contact on pcb.

I don't currently have any for sale, but I am starting a new list of interested people. Let me know if you would like to be on that list. 6 hours ago, Swami said: Also, do you know a straightforward way to make these so you can switch from X- to Y-axis on PC or the wiring itself? No. The controller is nothing more than a standard optical mouse PCB. The optical portion of the board is centered to the direction wheel on the X axis. 6 hours ago, Swami said: Do you need to solder a switch with wires to x contact and alternate to y contact, with common on switch to the common contact on pcb. I have no idea and I have no plans to include any such option. Off the top of my head I can't even think of a game that would need the y axis except maybe PONG? I have a feeling that Mame would just translate the X axis movement to Y movement anyway. Don't know for sure, just thinking off the top of my head.

Don't know for sure, just thinking off the top of my head. Not many. Pong and a couple breakout type games. I can substitute a regular trackball in those rare instances, but just wondering. Basically, the new Intellivision company releases a demo of their breakout port for pc, but the paddle moves vertically. I think they intended it to be used with a mouse, but I was trying to see if I could get it to work with my spinner and never got anywhere.
