Will it support a dos pc on a IBM AT or similar I have a vector graphics board.

This controller is based on electronics for a USB optical mouse. So, if you can get a USB optical mouse to work with that system, I don't see why not. Please keep in mind I've never tested it on a system like that.

Please add me to the list as well.  Are you getting close to 10?  Thanks!

You are on the list. I'm actually up to 14. The issue I have right now is I have to make my Cyclone spinner controllers first (They hit the 10 mark first). Then I can work on the Master Havoc controller.

The wait is over!

I will be messaging everyone on the wait list by the end of day Friday (11/18/22) with purchase info...

This sure looks neat, but I'm not familiar with the games.  What games besides Major Havoc and Tempest would benefit from this controller in mame?

Here's the for sale topic: For Sale: Major Havoc style USB controllers!!!

I only have one left for sale as of the time of writing this post.

 

Pretty much any game that uses a spinner controller can use the Master Havoc roller controller.

Here's a list of games that I compiled based on info here and on the web for Arcades games and Atari 2600 games that use spinner controls (which in an emulator one would most likely use a mouse when no spinner is available). BTW, this is not a complete list but, it should cover most of the games. ;)

 

Arcade games (MAME) such as:

Tempest
Arkanoid
Star Trek
Victory
Tron
Discs of Tron

Well, I'm sold out. If anyone is still interested I'll have to put you on a "want list".

 

Once I have at least 10 people interested I'll make another run of controllers.

 

Thanks again.

I got one person so far on the "want list". As soon as I get nine more I will make another run of the controller.

Would you happen to still be selling these?  I know there hasn't been a lot of activity in here lately, but I'm interested if there's still a want list available.  Thank you.

I have you on the list. You're right, the activity in here is thin. I guess there just isn't a lot of interest in this controller. Since 2020 I've only sold about 45-50 units total. I just ordered 20 more green wheels (as that is the really the only color people seem to want). I'm hoping to make another run in the next couple months. I still have to order more bearings, shaft material and USB mouse PCBs.
