I been playing with it and bought some extra springs to make the break peddal more realistic. it took 2x RC car front springs + some packing foam stuff "not polistyring, its like an airrated polytheen"
And now i can use it with ABS turned off as i can feel it getting harder to press.
I also noticed that the throttle peddal traveld futher than the response of the game so i also fixed that. sideeffect is that peddals have to be taped down with double sided tape. and because i keep having to move them when im done im rnning out of tape and alcohol as i use that to clean up the residue after.
really happy with it. now i can play all my racing games with forcefeedback "which owns"
took about 2 days to get used to it, had to change some ingame dead zone settings so i dont have to turn the wheel as far (40% out, not 100%) Still cant always manage the high powerd rear wheel drive cars though. so i may add a spring to the throttle for a bit more resistance as i have a slightly heavy foot.
these things are fun :)
Got my Skt 496 Mobile Pentium III chip for my Thinkpad A20m. The chip is a P3-800, but because the Lappy's motherboard doesn't support speedstep, it's locked at 650MHz, which is still plenty fast enough to play Win98 era games with. (the Rage Mobility chip even plays some OpenGL and D3D games at lower res.)
Got the chip installed and it's working OK.
By the way - new here, just came over from Vogons! :D
Nice one mate, now get yourself some dead PC boards to practice on :thumbsup:Quote:

My A500+ which I bought about a month or so ago, I decided to tackle the leaking battery and clean the motherboard today, followed by a complete clean of the machine while it was apart including stripping the keys from the keyboard to remove the dust bunnies hiding underneath them, its turned out not too bad with only slight yellowing on the keys and a couple of dings on the casing. The machine is stock at the moment with no trapdoor expansion. Rev 8A motherboard, serial No 171976

The mrs picked up this little beauty for me (for free!), its a boxed Megadrive with the "high definition graphics, stereo sound" labeling, both on the console and the box itself :D It didnt come with a PSU or instructions though but I can get them easily to complete the package.
Ive got a regular boxed one but not one of these branded ones :)
