Has anyone got Lindbergh games running on a Generic Linux Machine or do you still need the original hardware?
If all it needs is Linux then you might be able to run VMWare or Cygwin to emulate Linux inside of windows.

As far as I know, no. The same guys has said in a different thread that although he does not have any immediate plans, he will probably do it a few years once Sega no longer care.

Very impressive and exceptional work from Jackalus. Well done :cheers:
Just curious, but can this same thing be done with Naomi/Naomi 2 hardware? There is a Naomi emulator but it's still not up to par and progress on it has been painfully slow.

You mean getting a PC racing wheel to work on an original NAOMI unit? Yes and No.
The reason this works is because Lindbergh is a Linux PC and as such the way the Operating system works is known and the Operating system is accessible and able to be modified Not only that but it's already designed to work with a PC wheel, just a particular type of PC wheel. Chances are the only real modification here is to make that connection a little more generic to work with other "unapproved" wheels. On NAOMI you don't have any of that The OS is locked down, and the wheel is highly specialized to the hardware and not designed to connect like a PC wheel.
Nothing is impossible, but I believe it would honestly be easier to get Naomi Emulation working fully than it would to get plug and play PC wheel support on original NAOMI hardware.

Sort of, you can netboot with Naomi which is basically getting different decrypted games to load on your actual naomi system over your network. Not sure if all driving game use the same steering wheel hardware tho. (ex. Im not sure if booting crazy Taxi in an Initial D cab would work with its steering controls)

UPDATE: You peaked my interested and I did some more research and it looks like you could do a netboot naomi driving cabinet but it may not play with all the features depending on what cab you have

--- Quote ---well I have a CT upright, and at one time had a JS cart, then went with net booting it, with a naomi 2, and with the CT I could play all of them, just some werent true plug and play so to speak
from memory :
CT obviously all good
Jambo Safari - the lasso was backwards, not a major pain unless player tries to follow onscreen instructions (I did make an adapter that reversed the shifter, was an inline plug in and unplug when you wanted to play)
18 Wheeler (lacking reverse and radio, I think view change was HI/LO) was playable but tough
Club Kart - from memory was fine, wasnt a great game
ID1/2/3 - had to play in AUTOmatic, some other features lacking, but was playable I recall
King of Route 66 - could play but no mic, and issues similar to 18Wheeler, again also CT wheel is 270degree only, and 18Wheeler and KoR66 is 360degree so again causes slight play issues
I havent had a CT or Naomi 1 driver for a while, I use my Outrun 2 for net booting with Chihiro/Naomi now and still run into issues with some functions, like Crazy Taxi High Roller wont play in OR2 cab properly, as the D/R is messed up
hope that helps, but isnt 100% as thats from memory
