Speechless for now. More to come.

So it looks like I have 3 Nuon Yak Spinner controller boards from Lee Olivares coming in about a week. I plan on modding an Xbox Duke controller and adding a rotary. On Lee’s suggestion, thinking about documenting the entire process on video, with a final video presentation as a follow up to my...

Got my last SD-2300 on eBay from a seller who thought it was just an old DVD player too. $15.

So good to see my baby has grown up and soon will step out into the world as an adult. Thanks so much to Lee for taking all this off my hands and being able to make sense of everything I spent years pulling together. Can’t wait to finally play T3K with a rotary. I don’t care if it did take 5...

Another great update from Urs. Here he's gotten in contact with a German ex VM Labs employee: "Hi Nick, I’m playing Santa Claus. Here’s another response which I've received yesterday from a German former VM Labs employee: > An wen (ex VM Labs Mitarbeiter?) könnte/sollte sich Nick wenden...

Special thanks to Urs König aka QLvsJAGUAR for pulling some strings and getting ahold of some ex-VM Labs folks. Here's an excerpt from some emails he's sent me: Hi Nick, before I’m diving any deeper into this I had a look to my files and found several VM Labs pictures and documents relating...

Thanks to all the great folks I met in Duisberg this weekend. Some great times and some useful brainstorming has ignited some new creativity on this project. If I can't figure out the polyface myself, or recreate at least the wiring of the legendary original modded PC Wingman Warrior used to...

That would be great. I'd love to check that out. Sounds like a great utility. I don't know how I've missed that up until now. Please, please do. And thanks for the help and attention!

Sounds great! Every little bit helps. Beggars can't be choosers, and I'm clearly beggin' here. Thanks! Do you remember anything in the SDK regarding coding for rotary encoders? Maybe if I can just reverse engineer the process somehow...

Well, after Well, after hitting a wall on a different Jaguar project (burning my own backup cart copies), I've decided to set my sights back on this. Basically, all I need is +5V from somewhere to run my optical rotary encoder (preferably a trace on the Logitech NUON controller) and figure...

Here's a pic of the backside of the Logitech NUON controller analog stick. Like I said, complete Chinese to me. If anyone wants to chime in on how I can hook up an optical rotary to this, I'd really appreciate it. Haven't had any time to do any other tinkering with this. Real life's a bitch...

No need to thank me. Granted, there is a lot to gain for the Nuon community and retrogaming community in general from the completion of this project, but honestly it’s become a personal obsession due to my now blinding need to play T3K with a rotary. At first, it was academic because I didn't...

Just a quick update with more to come: I finally received the wingman warrior controller and I'm planning on ripping it open and doing some tests with the optical rotary and the analog stick on the Logitech on the advice from Tursi. I'll post the results soon. Thanks for staying tuned in!

Sorry for the lack of updates. My real job has got me running rugged. I haven't been able to test for a 5V trace yet plus I'm still waiting on the Wingman Warrior to arrive. In an interesting development, I reached out to Tursi from the JSII forum. He's working on an optical spinner...
