Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a controller for a game enabling a player to bodily fell more real game sensation by supplying load torque corresponding to the magnitude of rotation input supplied to a handle by a player to the handle.
SOLUTION: When the handle of this controller is rotated, counter electromotive force is generated between both terminals 15c and 15d of a generator 15 inside the controller. When both terminals are short-circuited, a current Ia for generating force (load torque) in the direction of obstructing the rotation of the generator 15 flows between them. Thus, the load torque is supplied to the handle even when a driving power source is absent. Also, by controlling the current flowing between both terminals from a game machine body side through a load generation means 20, the load torque corresponding to the contents of the game being played is supplied to the handle.
