I love plenty of racing/car games in mame, but as cool as a wheel would be to have, it's one of the many frankenpanel options I had to sacrifice. One of my ideas though was to build some sort of bar at the base of the control panel so you could attach a PC steering wheel when you wanted to, then remove it later. You know they usually make them to attach to computer desks in a Vise Grip fashion. What do you think? Then you could get any PC steering wheel set you wanted. |

I'm not sure what the op is planning, as he seems to have a stand-up cab right now, but I'm thinking of a dedicated sit down racing cabinet. I already have two matching car seats. I don't think it works too well on a stand-up due both to ergonomics and frankenpanel-dom. There was a thread recently where someone picked a factory stand-up racer, and he said it was extremely uncomfortable standing for long play sessions, and chair/stool ideas didn't work too well either as the pedal to wheel spacing is meant for standing up. I've played stand-up Cruisn' cabs a few times, and I can totally see it. Maybe it would work if you made a large assembly you could roll up that had a raised seat, with appropriately positioned pedals and such. If you got really creative, maybe you could make it fold up for storage. Otherwise, if it's a solid assembly you might as well slap a monitor on it and have a separate cabinet. |
