Title: Atari Badlands - I want to convert to MAME - I have a question. Post by: Netropolis on January 20, 2015, 03:49:03 pm Championship Sprint is one of my all time favourites...
The odds on me finding one in ANY condition in my area is slim - I did however manage to pick up a Badlands! Badlands is Atari trying to ride the wave of MadMax - Beyond Thunderdome popularity and they took Championship Sprint and made it all post apocalyptic. That being said, My Badlands Cabinet is a Dynamo Conversion with a bad paint job and not so great wiring... What I want to do is get one of those Jamma Fingerboards plug the Jamma harness into it and plug the USB into a small PC I have wich would run mame and voila I can run Badlands AND Championship Sprint, not to mention Off Road and a few other racing games. My question is: Will mame just figure out the 'spinner' part of the steering wheels or is there a lot of playing involved to make this work?

I have a Championship Sprint that I believe is in poor condition (haven't seen it in a while). It is in storage right now but, if you're near central Ohio....
Just a thought. I had planned to restore sometime this summer but I could be talked into selling. |
