Hi guys, since I'm quite unhappy with the logitech profiler, since for me, it generates some input lag on my driving force gt when this thing is running in the background. I always kill it after making the wheel settings.
Thing is since running different games, arcade racers need 270 degrees, outrun 2fxt 200 degrees, battle gear 3 360 degrees, and using attract mode as a launcher, always doing that manually, is quite a pain in the ass.
Basically I was looking for a way to do this on a per rom basis via attract mode. And it is working nicely and automated in the background.
You just have to use the following script, make the modifications according to your logitech wheel model, compile it to a hidden exe with battoexe converter (to not get any popup window when launching a game) and use the attract mode plugin from the second post.
After that you can edit the romlist of an emulator or the pc game list and set custom wheel rotation degrees on a per rom basis.
Have fun!
Script:
@echo off
set arg1=%1
IF [%1] == [] set arg1=270
IF [%1] == [] echo "start the program with wheelrotation <rotationvalue>"
echo Setting wheel rotation to %arg1%
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Logitech\Gaming Software\GlobalDeviceSettings\DrivingForceGT" /v OperatingRange /t REG_DWORD /d %arg1% /f
start "" "C:\Program Files\Logitech\Gaming Software\LWEMon.exe" /noui
timeout 4
taskkill /IM LWEMon.exe /f
pause
Basically what this thing does is manually setting the wheel rotation settings to a custom value in the registry, the same value the profiler manages.
Investigating the communication with usblyzer I realized that the wheel rotation settings in the registry get transmitted to the wheel when starting the logitech profiler.
So things get done in the following order:
- Rotation is set in the registry
- Profiler is launched, rotation value is transmitted to the usb device
- Profiler is killed
You can launch the bat via wheelrotation.bat <value>
Please note you have to edit the registry key to the logitech wheel you have, when you don't use a driving force gt.
Last but not least the disclaimer:
You are using this script and the plugin at your own risk, please don't blame me if your computer explodes or your house is set on fire
