Xbox 360 and standard USB steering wheel & pedals?
Cretster:
I realise that the defacto answer to this combination is "no - the 360 will only work with wheels specifically certified for it, and even then only certain games".
But I've hear murmurings of ways to get around this so that any USB wheel can be used, and wanted to see if you guys knew more on this?
I've added one of my 360s into my cabinet and got it hooked with an auto HDMI switch etc so I can swap between PC and emulators, to the 360. Primarily this is because I wanted to be able to play Forza, in a cabinet, and using a wheel & pedals. And since I already have a cabinet that has those, hence my query now.
I've found one article showing how a sidewinder wheel can be used to play on the 360, but then they're both Microsoft products anyway so I imagine it's not such a stretch:

Is there such a thing as an adaptor perhaps that would allow a normal USB wheel to be used so that the 360 thinks it's a legit certified one?
Thanks!

Search online for a G27 to xbox360 adapter.
Most are advertised for the G27 because it's the most requested wheel to use. All direct input devices use the same protocol though. (pretty much if it's not an xbox360 controller, it's a direct input device....unless it's decades old) They'll list other wheels in the details, but the title or headline is always G27.
I don't have an xbox360 and haven't personally used these, so delve into the research to make sure ffb will function as expected.
What type of wheel do you have?
Cretster:
Ace - thanks for the heads up mate, will look into it.
Cretster:
Not found one yet, but I found a thrustmaster wheel & pedal set on ebay BIN for £20!!!!
It was no postage mentioned so I emailed them to ask if they'd post it and got a reply back saying they would, then was gutted to see it'd been bought in between.
That would have solved it, to replace the existing wheel with a compatible 360 one, but they're usually like 10x that cost.
Gutted :(
