MANX TT - Super bike - from Sega motorcyle Cab. force feedback PC/xbox Hack ?

<< < (2/5) > >>

rmwilson:
in an effort to keep the thread and forum up to date - I wanted to add this tid bit in.... Apparently there is a regular version and a deluxe version of the cabinet - the delux has some feed back but none of my research explains what it is and how to repair it.

Has any one ever hacked / mame'd a TT and used it for driving games??? ( non bike games)

twistedsymphony:
Excluding any force feedback functionality I can't imagine it would be difficult to make it work for racing games... all driving games just read info from a pot for the steering, throttle, and brake.. Manx TT is no different in that regard. if you hack open a racing wheel check the pot values and compare it to the Manx pots if they're the same wire them up and go to town... if they're too different then you'd need to find similar style pots to what Manx uses but with the values your wheel expects... then swap them out and wire it up.

rmwilson:
Just had an additional thought ... Rather than hacking it for an xbox .. I was thinking why not use a PC - I'd like to try and run the game 'MOTO GP 14'  but now my questions revolve around if i could output split screen to dual displays? ( run one PC and have two players each playing on their own screen) or would I need wo computers and do an internet/lan mutiplayer game?


Other questions - in the xbox version the controller rumbles - any thoughts on using that game feed back and hacking it to the arcade unit so that when the controller rumbles i tap into the force feed back on the Manxtt Dx version?

the equipment required to convert a split-screen output to into two separate monitor feeds is substantially more expensive than building a second computer or buying a second console... and the resultant image will probably look like garbage too

That's impossible to answer without intimate knowledge as to how the Manx TT Force Feedback works. But based on the difficulty of getting other FFB systems to work with a PC I'd say for all intents and purposes: no.

Smithy13_2008:
The manx twins do not have force feedback.

The Manx dx deluxe (red tank) do. They have a motor in the bottom where when you lean the bike over hard it feels as if the back end is trying to come around.
