Driving cab using a Raspberry Pi 4
« on: May 20, 2025, 10:41:23 am »
I’ve modded an Arcade1Up Street Fighter 2 cab into a little OutRun cab. I’m using an old Thrustmaster wheel , a gear shifter from Ali Express and a Xin Mo encoder that I had laying about from an old project. I’m also using a Raspberry Pi 4 to power it. I settled on using Batocera as the front end. However, I’m having a few issues using the buttons on the control panel via the Xin Mo encoder. FB Neo doesn’t easily allow buttons from a second USB device to be used in conjunction with the primary controller (as in the Thrustmaster wheel) and in Mame I’m having issues with the gear shifter.

Has anyone else here ever used a Raspberry Pi for a driving cab? If so, can you give me any advice or am I better off just using a PC (I’ve not got the money to buy one right now.
