The holy grail of arcade controls - Star Wars Flight Yoke

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

With less and less working yokes out there, the price of a Star Wars Flight Yoke has become more and more cost prohibitive for arcade enthusiasts out there.  However, there is no substitute for using this unique controller for playing SW, ESB, and ROTJ.

 

I would love to see if you can make a replica of this unique piece of arcade history using modern maker tools and machinery and get it running on Mame.

    Thanks for the reply Cristina. I agree in theory that it might not be the most difficult to make, after all it needs to be doable in 1 show. Though flight yokes are very prevalent, all of them on ebay…

    There were extremely difficult to reproduce.  But after 18 months of development, we did it!  In the process, we upgraded the nylon internal and external gears as well as replaced the plastic thumb buttons with aluminum for more reliability.

     

    New Atari Star Wars Flight Yoke reproductions are for sale at https://alan-1.com/

    The USB adapter to allow you to run these on MAME on any OS will be available soon.
