Newb- Turning a San Francisco Rush cabinet into a MAME/xbox360 with HAPP FFB

RamjetR:
Force Feedback should just "work" without doing a thing. Install the logitech driver software as you would with any PC peripheral and your pretty much good to go.

I've never really had to tweak anything for force feedback at all. The logitech software settings for strength have always been pretty much spot on for my taste. But everyone is different.

For your CRT, I'm not sure what your inputs are for that screen. If you need to video convert down to something it will display or if there is standard connections. Bare in mind that on the CRT, PC games will probably suffer alot in terms of visual quality. But they will probably have that same kind of arcade'y look once they are set at 800x600 etc. eBay has video converters for going native arcade pcb up to HD LCD outputs and converters that take HD LCD XGA down to native arcade monitor inputs. They aren't expensive and I'm about buy one for running a TV in my TNMT cab I've been fiddling with for about a year.

Sending us some pics would be nice to see? Can give more advice from pictures. Oh, and from experience... for fitting that G27. Take close attention to how I made the hole to make it fit. Paper Machee! Make a 3D mould of the wheel, trim it at the correct depth to insert the wheel into the dash, and there you have a cutting template for the cross section of the wheel.

Used G27 from craiglist or New?

In your Model 2 folder, open emulator.cfg and set:
EnableFF=1

It's just that simple.

Supermodel is a little more complicated, but the help page and and the readme file cover everything. (most people don't take the time to read it)

Newegg has G27's on sale for $205 US w/free shipping every so often.
That's about what used ones sell for, so If you can get a new one that cheap, definitely go that route so you have a warranty.
It's currently $225 at newegg, which is a decent price.

You can still use your SF Rush pedals with the G27 if you swap out the pots in them (I have SF Rush pedals in my cab),
or you can mount them like Gbeef did: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=111231.msg1190520#msg1190520

Woohoo!

This is great.  I've been looking for help for
A month and finaly now I've got all kinds of help!

1 thing that's got my attention is the Fanatec Porsche wheel, it
Coms with Xbox,PC AND Ps3.

Expensive though....

I suppose if I sell all the stock gear from my Rush cab I should get a decent amount of money, should considerably offset the price of a new wheel.

This rocks, I'm excited.

You guys heard of a HAPP  pcb FFB  communicator?  Apparently it makes ALL MAME games communicate force feedback? I'm unclear on the details, just heard of it briefly.
RamjetR:
Do your research on multi compatible wheels. From memory, some that support all 3 platforms will "emulate" a joypad on some platforms whilst be full FFB on others. So whilst they may work, it may not be exactly what your looking for. From memory, and thats sketchy at best, but I'm sure I saw on an insideracing.com video that the Fanatec wheels do exactly that for PS3 or Xbox, can't remember of the top of my head.

Insideracing.com videos on wheel reviews are rediculously over the top indepth and there is a hot chick on it. Get your steering wheel advice from the Pro's. Go check out their youtube video reviews.
