Xbox steering wheel (which one to buy)?
unclet:
Found an EB Games which had 1 left for $49.99. They are holding it for me and I will be picking it up today. Thanks for the information.
I (and my boy) can not wait to play these driving games.
I will post pictures when my driving cab is complete. I am rapping up the final little things and then I need to wood putty it, sand it and paint it.....and of course wire it up. Probably take me another month (got two kids and little time to dedicate to it).
Thanks again
UncleT

no way, man. the best is either Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2 or Midnight Club 2

OK, I got the Mad Catz Universal and I have a question before opening it (so I can return it if needed). .....
Is there a way to mount the steering wheel and brakes to my cab or does this type of steering wheel simply sit on a flat surface? If I open the steering wheel to figure this out for myself, then I will not be able to return it for a refund, but only be allowed to get a store credit....which I do not want. So, please let me know whether this steering wheel has clamps or something to allow it to be mounted to a cab.

Are you saying that it won't be possible to use an Xbox wheel on a PC? I actually just ordered a cable to allow me to do just that.
It's Xbox to USB and drivers for the conversion are available on the net. I forget the name of the website off hand (it's at work and I'm off for a week) but it's designed to interface any xbox controler and emulate a USB game pad for a PC or MAC. So yes it would work with MAME.
And as far as mounting, here's pics of how I mounted mine...Only requires two screws and a threaded insert for the back of the CP. I need to order some knobs for the bolts to make it easily removable with no tools. Holds up very well and the only mod to the wheel was to open it up and screw through the base of the wheel into the 2 pieces of wood that in turn bolt to the cp top.
