| Madcatz wheel, using PSx / USB in mame? |

Hello , Ok I have an old Mad catz wheel for a PS1 and i want to use it in MAME , will this work through a USB/PSX converter? |
| Silver:
Should do I think - if the converter lets it work in windows, then it will work in mame. (in theory). Do a search for "driving controls" - its a bit more complicated than it first appears. Arcade driving games use wither a 360 degree wheel (free spinning, does not return to centre - super sprint, pole position, super off road etc..) or a 270 degree whell (doesn't turn full circle, returns to centre - spy hunter, roadblasters, outrun) and apparantly using one with the other does not work well. Your psx wheel will be a 270 (I believe) and should work with those games. Having said that I don't use psx kit on a pc, so I'm assuming there is a driver that works in windows that is used with the converter box to allow it appear as an input device that windows recognises. |

I use my actlabs steering wheel with a psx->usb converter (because I couldn't get the gameport carts to work). Anyway, it works fine in mame. But I found that they conversion defaults didn't work well in some PC games.. And that sucks because PC driving games are really better then most emulated driving games (that work on a real system). |

Just psx wheels should work fine but universel one won't(yes tried). |

These 2 are compatible with EVERYTHING (Wheels, dance pads, controllers, first and third party) http://www.electricquarter.com/psjoy.htm http://www.electricquarter.com/ps2dualcont.htm These 2 work with controllers, the support for dancepads and other peripherals have been mixed, some work, some don't depends on the game, system, and peripheral. http://www.electricquarter.com/psusb.htm http://www.electricquarter.com/ps2quadcont.htm Hope that helps! |
