| Pc Steeringwheel for Dreamcast :o |

| Dream-er:
Hi, I need to figure out how to make my Pc steering wheel(MOMO Racing)work with my Dreamcast console - any good ideas on adapters or how to make it myself ??? I would really appreciate all the help I can get !!! The reason I need to have a DC compatible PC wheel is this: I'm making a sit-down arcade racing cabinet to play games like: F355 Challenge(DC), Metropolis Street Racer(DC), Grand Prix Legends(PC), F1-2002(PC) and netKar(PC)...and I don't like the idea of having to use two steering wheels, one for each format, in my arcade cabinet... Any good idea's ? ::) Regards Morten |

I see a couple of options... (From the research I've been doing lately) There is a converter that allows you to use a Dreamcast controller with a PC (I found it at Level6.com). With this you could use a Dreamcast Steering wheel with your PC as well... Or you can get a couple of Playstation converters... (PS->PC & PS->DC) and use a Playstation Steering wheel. I haven't seen ANY options to use computer controllers with console systems... PC hardware is always so different (hence all the stinking driver issues with every new piece of hardware). Honestly I don't know if you'll find anything to conect your PC wheel to the DC. But by all means, if you do find a solution please post it here!!! (And since I hadn't specifically been digging for this idea, I'll keep my eyes open as well) Good luck. |

Duct Tape... ;D Seriously, you can't. To paraphrase Tmas, PC controllers aren't standardized. That's why any new controller for your PC also requires a driver. Console controllers on the other hand, interface with the system for which they were designed in a pre-defined manner...no driver required. Tmas gave you the best advice you are going to get...console controller with an adapter for PC compatibility. And even then it's not a sure thing...no controller specific driver. But with the right combination of adapter and controller, it CAN be done. Someone, correct me if I'm wrong--Howard? ;D |
